Beg to differ strongly. I WAS one of those people(PTLE and M-Powered, still
ahve the box around here somewhere), and even though I am now using Ardour,
and have been for QUITE some time, I STILL have thousands of dollars in
plugins, and it is still a major stumbling block for going back to Linux
full time as in many cases there aren't acceptable equivalents(Real Time
noise reduction is the main one I harp on, but heck, just getting some the
are equal to TrackPlug would be a heck of a step). Just because someone is
on PTLE doesn't mean that they aren't investing money in plugins and doing
serious work.
In many cases I could even say that there is a larger problem than just
harping on capabilities. One of the major selling points of PT in
general(Compared to even Logic, DP, CuBase, etc.) is the fact you can go
into just about any studio in the world and it is there. Record a few
tracks in your garage, take it to a studio to flesh out and mixdown, works
perfect for many people, and I know many people that have this exact
workflow. AATranslator is a great tool in this regards from what I have
heard but is both closed source and Windows only, so it is very limiting at
the same time. Nothing against those folks, I am immensly glad they came
out with such a tool.

Are you looking to compare only the built in PT plugins, or are you looking
to compare all the plugins that CAN be run in PT, which is a heck of a list
obviously as I am sure you know.
