What we can learn from Bitwig is that they base their work on musician's needs. And their whole application is tailored towards a musician getting his work done easier and more efficiently.
In Linux Audio very often the basis is a curious technical idea that might have little to do with doing music. As a made-up example "why not create a framework that will have all the midi connections in one place and it will dynamically reassign those connections and plug them using my new format that everyone will have to adapt because it is such a great and efficient format".Even right now in this thread I see people suggesting many cool technical feats, but I see little interest in trying to understand what musicians might want. As I usually write, sometimes getting heated metaphors back at myself for that, often a musician needs some basic stuff first.
I spoke about no Linux sampler supporting WAVE loops, although all Windows DAWs do.

Or that no sf2 player has volume envelope, although most non-Linux sf2 players do.
And the reason for this is because people are doing software for themselves and not necessarily for others. This is not good or bad, this is just how it is. You decide whether you want to change this or not.
