I assume you mean "are too complex applications to be integrated with
the desktop environment"
With which I disagree and present (and plug/hype) Marlin (http://marlin.sf.net)
which is a sample editor which integrates nicely into Gnome.

I disagree...and with Marlin, I think its a fairly simple to use
application that edits sound well, and doesn't take a degree in
advanced rocket science to use.

And as the author of both Marlin and (most of) gnome-sound-recorder, I
think I'd be happier using Marlin than gnome-sound-recorder for my
basic sound recording.

9 months, its dead!" I say, oh no its not, its only sleeping, and the
new release will happen very shortly...hopefully by the middle of
July, and it'll kick ass!)
