The amount of steps and manual reading it takes to get something done actually matters - a lot, and this won't change. One will simply Get More Work Done if the steps involved are fewer, simpler and more in-your-face.

It doesn't help much if Logic can do everything, if it appears to the average users (who normally don't read manuals) that features they are looking for are missing.

It is certainly fair to say that Logic is less intuitive than some of the competing apps, although LP8 is easily the most intuitive version, so Apple is clearly headed in that direction.

Nonetheless, not that much effort is required to use the search in a PDF manual, and if the user is not willing to put in a little effort to do that, my guess is they are going to produce some crappy music, no matter which DAW they choose.
