I'm always intrigued by the attitude of people to want to be assured that the musical gear that they have chosen is "the best"...and by "best" I mean it's universally accepted by everyone else. There's this competetive spirit that gies along with it, and it seems like guys want to stack their gear lists against everyone else and....what?....win?

Now, I get that there are different goals when accumulating gear. There are studio owners who want to sell time to clients, and having the status quo is crucial to their sales.
Personally, I'm not one of those people....and I've been using Logic since my Atari days, and I use it well. I'm fast with it, I know it...I can do things with it that I can't do with other software, and it makes me money. I couldn't care less if it's the best selling DAW out there or if I'm one of only 10 people in the world using it (Well....other than the fact that I don't want it dropped, I would like Logic's life to continue, so I hope a FEW more people are using it.)

I just don't think I'll ever get when people get so emotionally invested in their software. It's as if the tools have become more important than the music.

I'm sure when Logic 8 arrives, it will be great and have some features that I find useful. But hey....that's the future, and right now I'm getting things done (well) with Logic 7. If it wasn't working for me, I would move to a platform that did work for me.

SO here's hoping Logic 8 is wonderful....hope you guys don't mind if I continue getting work done in 7 in the meantime.
