Who said anything about not wanting to learn how to use table saws?

This seems a bad analogy to me. NI's plug-ins don't make me a better
musician. I still have to learn how to use them, but I don't have to
know how to code them myself first. That part's already done. I'm more
than willing to learn how to use a table saw, but I really don't feel
like building my own table saw first. Right now, audio on Linux really
does kinda force the latter, in my opinion.

I'm genuinely enjoying myself debating this, though. :-)
