No one misunderstood you, Vesa. This isn't "your intent" but rather it is
"our intent". This topic is the future of lmms, not the future of one
particular person. Your opening statement says :
The future of LMMS is very uncertain right now.... ...there are some

You are trying to sell us on the idea of a tooth extraction when we don't
even have a comfort level that we'll be smiling at the end of the surgery.

This assumption is wrong and your perception of our userbase is inaccurate.
Do you think those who download Gimp never pirated Photoshop? Do you
think those that use Kdenlive never used Premiere? Do you think Linux
users are born in the womb with a Tux tattoo? Well, perhaps some of them
are but the vast majority of them were raised in the world they live in.
The good commercial versions do the job right the first time but come at a
price that almost no one can justify so users are stuck with trying to
unlock demos and stealing product keys so they can continue being
productive. Every professional musician I know at one point used pirated
DAW and or plugins. I gave up on LMMS and switched to Ableton a year ago
because our group refused to use software without Undo. Don't minimize
these things. They is important and you can't say they are not. They mean
something to people and those people's opinions matter despite what path
they took to get here.
