All these people who are willing to change their tools of trade every other release because of one feature or another can't be very serious about their trade. Isn't it more important that you know your software of choice inside out? How can that happen if you keep jumping from software to software because of a few features. Isn't that going to slow you down more than not having PDC? And aren't you going to feel dumb when your mix takes 6 hrs longer because you don't know the shortcuts in SX 3 that you knew in Logic? And aren't you going to feel even dumber when in a few months Apple releases an update for Logic with full PDC?
It seems to me that Apple correctly figured that the buss/aux PDC problem applies to people using DSP cards which are a small fraction of the total Logic user base. It would seem like a logical decision not to hold up a major release for a relatively small amount of people. For every one logic user that knows what latency is, their are probably 10 who don't, and don't need to. Thats a lot of money.
If your a hobbyist you can afford to jump from tool to tool because your not serious. If your trying to make money you need to stick to something you know well. Apple will never really lose it's user base over minor issues like PDC because too many people like me couldn't hack learning new shortcuts, and methods just to make the same music. What a complete waste of time that would be...
Patience is a virtue.
