that's a very nice fantasy you got there, hang on to it as long as you
can.

Depends on the problem domain. Very few compilers are better than gcc,
but I still want VisualBASIC when I'm developing a WINDOWS ONLY
commercial app. (and Python for when I need cross platform)

If you budget says "audacity" then install Audacity and get to work
recording. So long as you can export .wav files, you can move to a new
platform.

OTOH if my budget said ProTools, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
