Audacity is not really comparable to Protools, it has a FAR FAR narrower scope. If you want something that has a similar in scope to Protools look at Ardour, it only runs on Linux, and I'd say it's a good idea to not try it on a standard desktop distro since getting jack and all the other stuff set up is kinda hard it'd be better to use a specialized distro like Ubuntu Studio.
Audacity is pretty much targeted at doing simple recording type tasks, and some simple editing, it's not a Digital Audio Workstation (Which is what Protools is)
It's good what it does, but it doesn't do everything. If you're a professional muscian or something like that Audacity is not what you want, if you want to edit a podcast, it might be, if you have a stack of vinyl records and you want to digitize them Audacity is probably exactly what you want.
