There hasn't been a new stable release in years and it's stuck on VST version 2. I started out on LMMS (if we don't count ProTracker and my Amiga days) but now I've switched almost exclusively to Cakewalk Sonar (free plan). Cakewalk isn't open source and doesn't have the nice chiptune plugins LMMS comes with though. And one day if the makers of Cakewalk decide to cripple or remove the free version then I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and try switching to / learning Reaper. But in the meantime I value the piano roll in Cakewalk, which seems more fully featured than the LMMS one, as well as it being nice having more features in general.
