Qtractor from RPM Fusion may be quite buggy, but in no way have I had an experience to consider it nearly unusable. I've been using it for quite a while now, and it hasn't crashed once. Keep in mind, Qtractor is still "Alpha" software, according to its SourceForge website. Audacity, Ardour, and QjackCtl on the other hand, are supposedly stable, but crash on me with regularity. This is to say, "Your mileage may vary." The open-source philosophy encourages people to choose the solution that works best for them. One thing we can be sure of is that we could really use more contributors to monitor, respond to, and deal with Bugzilla issues. Christopher.
