If you study them closely, Apple are mainly interested in selling computers (and iPods and iPhones). Garageband helps sell a lot more computers than Logic, thus the emphasis that everyone has noticed since the Emagic buyout. |
Do you think that Apple is therefore hobbling Logic on purpose in order to give ProTools an advantage in the audio editing department? Do you think they really say to themselves: let's continue to give ProTools the audio editing edge in order to benefit from related hardware sales (rather than sell those same customers their hardware in conjunction with Logic)?

The evidence speaks for itself IMO... |
And of course, the other way of interpreting the lack of updates is that Apple hasn't abandoned Logic, but is working hard on a substantial update while we are using a sufficiently stable version for the time being. This you call the "wishful thinking" point of view, but it's fortified by hints from the mothership.
