I wish that was true, but I understand what Renato says about diving into technical details and spending more time programming or configuring things rather than working on music. Organizing is important, but when Sooperlooper simply does not display what loop is being played and you need around 20 loops at the very least when 4 already take up the whole screen - Sooperlooper's ability to be controllerism software, which requires clarity of interface and quick workflow, becomes too theoretical.
I absolutely do not want to say that Linux software is not capable of providing controllerism in question, but at the moment - let's say, it is not trivial. And for a musician who is not a programmer - basically, close to impossible.
I would love to be proven wrong, because then I would use this solution on Linux myself. But at the moment all discussions along the lines of "You could just as easily do some controllerism stuff with a hacked Novation of your own, or an Arduino, or a Monome, and just about any looper" feel like the person who is saying it did not really try. Especially, the word "easily" grates on the ears.
