also have a look at the home page, they obviously have set windows systems as their priority environment, since they support all those VST plugins etc but only under windows...

Well, they do provide links for Mac OS and OS X VST plugins in addition to Windows.  The problem is that there (as far as I know) are few, if any VST plugins for Linux.  I think people who use VSTs in Linux are doing so with some aid from WINE.   I don't think that really says anything the developers' lack of dedication to Linux.

As for the claim "it doesn't do what you want it to," that's a bit broad, and I'm not quite sure how to address it.  My experience with it in OS X has been favorable.  For a moderately featured free audio editor I think it's great.

however audacity is rubbish (in my experience) it crashes at every opportunity and doesn't do anything you want it to.

useless, unless you're a windoid.

Audacity also has support for LADSPA plugins.

If Audacity by itself doesn't do something you want it to, most likely one of the LADSPA plugins will.

The big difference that I notice between Audacity for Windows and Audacity for Linux is that the Win32 version has an option to record from "What U Hear."    

A useful feature... wish the Linux version had it.
