What do you think are LMMS's greatest strengths and weakness

[ShanonHeller]

I enjoy working with different DAWs and of course find that each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I haven't been using LMMS as much these days, except for working on a new remix for a track of mine. I definitely will use LMMS again in the near future. Some really great native virtual instruments and with the right plug-ins it's really great. I don't understand why it isn't more popular especially when it's amazing for open source software.
Anything you like more about LMMS than other DAWs?

Strengths:
- Free and open-source
- Easy to figure out
- Light on resources (not counting plugins)
- Doesn't fool your brain with twinkling visuals
- Sequencing/editing is a pleasure to do

Weaknesses:
- No support for LV2 plugin gui (yet)
- No proper per-channel output and export
- Midi I/O is handled very unprofessionally
- No custom routing for effects, only simple stereo insert (yet)

This is my personal opinion based on personal experiences.

trancwolfe is nailing our weeknes' accurately, we may need to add "No recording/ internal sample-edit" as a weeknes, and User-driven development as a strength. All user inputs are always answered, and in very short time, mostly over night. Almost all features in LMMS are from user-suggestions, after all our devs are also users, it is actually all :p. That is unique for LMMS, and imo our strongest quality.

Strengths:

The step editor is great for WAV sample sequencing and playback/rendering to WAV.
The interface is neat and tidy and uncluttered and easy to read.
Being freeware and also being supported by a living community is good too.
Projects can be saved/recalled unlike some commercial demo software.
LMMS is a good idea pad.
MIDI auto-quantizing and timing is really good (better than REAPER, in my opinion)
The program isn't so complex as to be intimidating.

Weaknesses:

The project needs more active developers in my opinion.
The project is active but slightly slow compared to other DAW projects out there.
Some basic copy/paste-like functions in the MIDI editor aren't as intuitive as you might expect. Lastly, the audio device settings might be confusing to some users (although they are versatile enough that a solution is likely.
