There are quite a few "gotchas" regarding getting this working on Macs, and it's taken me a long while to get anything reliable. I think the Windows versions are the next best supported. LMMS was primarily developed for Linux, but most of us don't use that regularly, or have a dedicated Linux machine. Accurate track timing is a possible problem. This isn't always such a limitation, but it may be.

It doesn't do audio editing directly (currently), so audio tracks have to be imported, and typically they would be edited in an external editor.

It's not clear that this is always possible - for example some versions of LMMS for Mac may not have been able to support VSTs.

Some synthesisers can be imported, depending on the version of LMMS - for example as VSTs. There are several synthesisers built in - though perhaps not as good as the software synthesisers built in or It's reasonably good at providing a multi-track environment for electronic music and synthesisers. Some people have a seemingly idealogical preference for Open Source software and/or an aversion to commercial (paid for ) software. There are only a few people working on it, so some things are limited - maybe. It is open source software, and I assume has been developed by volunteers. LMMS is a curious beast - which has been recommended in some other places, but not appreciated in others.
