It is certainly 'surprising' for now to see that 'little players' in the field are going Linux. Significant traction (not the DAW/company ) will be attained when major players will be doing the same. What's important are the reasons behind this. Small companies might be doing that in the hope of getting more sales whereas majors have no need. Beyond the actual need, there could be a good impression made on the majors if a good number of smaller ones are going Linux, as majors also like to be on a trend to assure sales.
Also, software development is now often made using certain principles (of so-called MVC for instance) which facilitates through its decoupling approach the port to other environments.
