<pre wrap="">There are fewer plugin choices on Linux, but in the nearly 7 years that I've
been using Ardour the situation has improved considerably. There is still a
shortage of plugins that emulate analog non-linearity for those who like
plugin equivalents of specific hardware devices. I wanted a non-aliasing
transformer distortion emulator for example, but ended up writing my own.
The other thing I miss is a good drum replacement program. Apart from that
I've found enough plugins to cover my requirements.
I personally find the lack of fancy graphic interfaces on most of the
available LADSPA and LV2 plugins to be a positive advantage. I just want it
to work, preferably without too many arbitrary restrictions on parameter
ranges, and without the added distraction of pretty pictures which do nothing
to enhance the sound but do consume screen space that could be put to better
use (I realise I'm probably in a minority here).

Yeah I totally agree with John, the simple UI of most LADSPA or
LV2 plugins can be a good thing, because it forces the listening
with EARS and not EYES... :P<br>

I agree 100% with this. Plus, the extra CPU power required to drive
multiple plugin GUIs severely stresses a machine, when that
horsepower could be much better used to do useful things.<br>
