If you want flexibility - no other DAW can touch Logic - and that is due to the environment. But Maybe Steinberg goes on with copying Logic (the interface and stuff with Cubase4) and Cubase 5 will have an environment and the hobby musicians at Apple have thrown it away ....

Sigh...
Yes, there is difference; however, I was responding to a specific example of which the author couldn't imagine it being done any other way.
In my reply to him I showed that there was an alternative which also didn't require 40 odd seperate transformers.
As stated in my previous post I wasn't suggesting at all that a simple input transformer could replace the environment window of Logic; my point simply was that there are a number of things that don't necessarily need the complexity of the environment window, and can be done just as well with one simple input transformer, as per my example.
Is the environment a powerful feature that can do some amazing things? Most certainly.
Do certain everyday "set and forget" tasks require the environment; well, that is disputable.
Unfortunately you don't seem to be able to reply without getting into a DAW pissing match, which is quite boring really.
As to the Cubase4 copying Logic's interface; a bit rich really considering where the original logic got its interface ideas from when it was released 4-5 years after the original Cubase in 1993(then called Cubit). Suprisingly, Logic sported a rather similar interface
Anyway, as I also mentioned, I used Logic for a great number of years and wouldn't dispute its flexibillity. That having been said, I also found it at times an incredibly frustrating program to deal with, and the environment was a big part of that; personally I found it a bit of a mixed blessing.
But hey, if it works for you that's great. I'm not telling you to switch.
Just stop the 'mine is better than yours' bollocks. They're all great Daws. All of them have their pros and cons...
Best,
