What pains me most about "pro audio" is the lack of reusability. There are a bunch of monolithic DAWs, and a bunch of proprietary formats, and not a whole lot of modular goodness and programmer hackability. I'm glad to see that some work is put into improving this, with simple architechtures and all that jazz.

Well, that's sort of the idea of JACK.
The problem as I see it is, in pro audio you have an awful lot of people who use the same workflow day in & day out and want it to "just work" and be seamless. However in my experience it's usually very difficult to get a really streamlined painless workflow with a hugely flexible pluggable architecture.
