The reason I've never been a Rosegarden user is because I've never found anywhere in the program where you can do generic (non-GM) Midi. I do mostly very electronic stuff where the idea of banks and presets that have to be assigned to a particular instrument sound with a well known instrument name isn't very useful to the kinds of patches and samples I'd use. But there doesn't seem to be anywhere in Rosegarden where you can just do regular ad hoc this-bank/program-is-whatever-I-say-it-is style Midi.
You can do non-GM MIDI with Rosegarden. I've used it a lot with Kontakt and EWQL PLAY (hosted on an external machine). No GM required. You just need to setup your MIDI devices under Studio->Manage MIDI devices (if you are using an external app or device) and select the device under Track Parameters. You can also use the built-in Synth Plugin device (and use DSSI).
My main issue with Rosegarden lately was the instability of the CC lanes... they were clumsy to edit and the application would randonly crash when editing nodes in the CC lanes. Maybe it's gotten better in the newer versions.
