Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why? (lemmy.ml)

FL Studio, Ableton, and many VST. Yes, a know about Ardour, many LV2 plugins, and I tried it, and in somewhere moment, me liked it more, then proprietary analog. Some plugins is awesome, DrumGizmo is very well, Vitalium and helm too have good sound, and many another software is good, but for easy, fast, and really quality sound it easier make in proprietary analogs. It ones cause, why I have windows in dualboot (and yes, in Wine I haved large latency and another problems).

P.S But sometimes I still working on my music projects in GNU/Linux.

I recommend Waveform if you haven't tried it yet (works with linux).

how's waveform's vst support? I don't really need a daw for much more than processing samples so I've just been using the free Ableton version that came with my sequencer but I might need to upgrade

Works great! I'm not an advanced user, mainly been using synth-VSTs. Since waveform 11 it is really stable and performant, before that there were some issues (they reworked the audio engine).
