If people want good quality, well-supported music applications for Linux
then they'd better leave their preconceptions at the door. We should
eschew the geek in favour of the average user.
Make use of the toolkits that already exist - make life easier for
developers and users alike - provide quality software that's stable,
functional and enjoy using.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
