Usually the people that will talk like that to you wouldn't know what pro tools looked like if they saw it. I did read a post of someone that didn't have pro tools but constantly got asked the same question. His response was to say that it was like pro tools (I guess to some degree all DAW's are) and he rekoned that usually was enough to keep them quiet. Of course there are sessions where pro tools is a requisite, those where the project was tracked with it and those where the requirements are specific to it, maybe these days this is less the situation than it used to be.
