But wait, you guys are missing my point. When an audio engineer buys Pro Tools and a Mac to run it on, Apple makes a TON of money.

No they don't! The margins in computer hardware are not that great. It only works if you sell millions of them. Apple is not selling millions of Macs because of ProTools.

They don't need Logic for that. So it's not direct competition. That's why they're still such close partners, because Digi makes Apple money.

Again - flawed logic. Final Cut Pro is in DIRECT competition with Avid, and has take a HUGE chunk of the market away from Avid, including a Mac for each FCP workstation. More musicians can afford $1,000 for Logic, and a Mac quad, than can afford a ProTools HD setup, and Apple clearly knows that.
ProTools is entrenched in studios, but that's actually a small niche market, and getting smaller - way smaller than all the musicians out there who could potentially make their own world class recordings at home.

I'm not saying they'll abandon Logic (any more than they already have), but don't expect a dramatic change of priorities or quicker updates and bug fixes anytime soon. Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but this thread shows the current state of affairs: wishful thinking from hardcore Logic users, contrasted by lack of updates, bug fixes, etc. from Apple. The evidence speaks for itself IMO...

The evidence does NOT speak in your favor. You've just done the usual bitching and then say it's a 'conclusion'. What proof do you have that we shouldn't expect a dramatic change, etc? None. You're just speculating based on reasoning that is not at all logical or in sync with Apple's reality. You wouldn't make a good lawyer.
I sympathize with those who are seriously impeded by any existing bugs, but lack of specific bug fixes does not prove or imply anything about the future of Logic.
I don't know about you, but I'm using Logic as it is, and I'm recording music and mixing and mastering without any problems that are stopping me from working.
