I think this is a pretty dangerous argument to make, considering that
spending hours patching kernels and tweaking JACK latency is not exactly a
guarantee of listenable results either.

Nope, but if you are the next undiscovered John Williams and not a computer
scientist, what I'm seeing is that Ableton will probably get in your way
less than half a dozen loosely connected programs with few if any sensible
default settings and little to no way to save all their states at once
(LASH is not there and may never get there) will.

Someone working in the styles of the other two would probably be okay with
LMMS for a while, though.
