With Ardour3, NON, NSM, Carla, Radium, Supercollider, we should have enough tools to be able to produce music with Floss software right? But yeah, the difference is that a commercial tool like Bitwig gives you a more or less 'ready-to-go-product' whereas with Floss linuxaudio software you've to jump from workaround to workaround. But I don't give up hope yet! :)
I don't know... Maybe it depends on the kind of music you are doing. I've been using Ardour2/3 (and Rosegarden, previously) for years to produce various symphonic scores and heavy metal recordings, among other things, without resorting to workarounds. The only thing I am missing on Linux are good orchestral sample sets (I have to use Windows for that, on a separate machine). There are some free ones but they just don't compare to what is available commercially. It's not a failing of Linux, though, it's a failing of producers who don't release for Linux. If Kontakt ever gets released on Linux, I will be dropping Windows in a heartbeat.
FWIW, I like Reaper, too. I use it on Windows to host VST samplers like Kontakt or EWQL Play. As a recording & mixing environment, though, I far prefer Ardour (and Mixbus).
