Bitwig's pretty good as a cross-platform DAW, from what I hear.
There's entire ecosystems of plugins out there. Yes they can be reimplemented but if the authors use the same quick algorithms as everyone else it's going to sound plastic-y and dull. IMO plugin dev is one of those things where every hour spent makes a cumulative difference in output quality.
WASM may be great, but unless they can run as their own binary in their own windows you're going to have browser overhead for each window, nevermind those of us that spread our DAWs out across multiple screens.
