Audacity is about as easy as it gets with a gui.

Off of gui...
sox
nyquist
libsndfile
ffmpeg (although not particularly useful for audio)

On gui...
Audacity
ardour2 (licensing got weird and not quite intuitive, but it does have VST =
support now, and other things.)

For editing I like audacity.=C2=A0 Sox has some useful-ness to do some anal=
ysis and semi-realtime EQ things.=C2=A0 Semi because it's command line and =
you have to type the command line.=C2=A0 And it has at least one known flaw=
 that keeps me from using it to do actual editing beyond file format conver=

But it's supposed to have support for VST plugins and stuff like that now.=
=C2=A0 I just never found it intuitive to use, just normalizing was an adve=
nture in menu navigation.=C2=A0 And it's been a good while since I've used =
it, so it could be completely different.=C2=A0

By no means a comprohensive list.=C2=A0 The ccrma stuff at stanford keeps f=
