Strongly disagree with all of this. "traditional" studio emulation, compatability with 99% of the commercial studio world, playback to picture, pro-level interfacing, unbeatable multitrack editing (IMO). Those are all reasons to buy into PT.

If none of that sort of thing is important to you (it wouldn't be to most hobbyiests, or singer-songwriter-composer types) then you're right.

But it did get where it is for a reason. Next time you try to sync reaper, or even Logic up to tape or an SSL, let me know how you get on. If you've never had to do this sort of thing....well, you wouldn't understand WHY it's an industry standard.
