In the most general sense my answer would be a no. in the general sense, sure. but Ben wasn't referring to the general sense. if you're on the "inside" of Apple audio development its clear that their focus is really shifting away from "creative/professional audio" toward "consumer audio". i'm talking about the OS infrastructure here, not the existing apps. now, traditionally, Apple has done an amazing job of creating technology that manages to serve the needs of both audiences, and they *may* manage to carry on doing that. but there are few signs from things going on in both iOS and the latest versions of OS X that this might not carry on. personally, i'd probably put my money on apple, but there is a real question what their (infrastructure) focus is going to be in a year or two.
Didn't Mac start as a platform for mostly the creative world, having a few percent of the total userbase for Desktop? Is Canonical totally overlooking the potential of creative software for Linux or doesn't that potential exist?
