The audio in Pr is pretty good. Because it has submix tracks, that puts it ahead of Avid and FCP.
I don't think the native plugs are horrible, but I mostly use a third-party compressor / limiter.
Adobe needs to offer more options for buffer size. It tops out at 1024, and that's too low when you have a stack of CPU intensive plug-ins running. It makes the audio sound choppy as you play in real time. A buffer max of 4096 would help things.
I found a couple of very useful plugs for fixing poorly recorded audio, the bane of low-budget video production, and documentary work. One does de-reverberation (You often get unwanted room reverb when the mic is too far from the subject.), and the other reduces comb-filtering (a side effect of recording in rooms with parallel walls). Both are CPU hogs, and with the low buffer, Pr can't handle more than one instance of each plug without choking.
I'd like to stay in Pr to do my audio work, and I do for 99% of my projects, because I mostly deal with pros who give me good audio that doesn't need a lot of first aid. But not everybody is so lucky.

Working some projects in Premiere would be nice but immediately run into things that don't seem easy or possible in Premiere. Plus, the audio interface especially plugins seem of low quality. Vegas has a seemingly simple approach that is actually very powerful (and does this for video) now of event, track and media FX, nested/grouped tracks with nice submix routing that makes managing complex audio a breeze.
