i think it's more about convincing some of the AL users to experiment with these other forms of playing with sound, letting them know that it's possible to go further. And building a nice bridge for them. Personally, i'm currently in the process of switching completely to Pd from AL. But Max4Live was useful to me for a moment. I've been wanting to get in to Csound or Supercollider or Chuck (can't decide which one to pursue) to see what's up, but right now it's exactly like when I opened a max patch for the first time, even worse. So, i think it makes sense that these bridges are being made with AL (since AL is already the most interesting and versatile of the commercial DAW's, in my opinion).

well, for me Csound is replacing Ableton Live for concerts as realtime sound engine (multitrack loop player / processor plus as synthesizer), communicating with Pure Data/ GEM as visualization, both works well on Linux:
