Your experiences are not being questioned. Your attribution of the source of that experience to "better sound" and "superior algorithms" is not only being questioned, it has been effectively demolished.

my mixes are coming together faster now, and sounding better than they ever have before.
It is totally within the realm of possibility that this is due entirely to workflow/GUI/color scheme. Why the resistance to this explanation? I would be shocked if these things didn't have a massive effect on the way mixes 'come together'. If the difference-hearers want to insist that it is NOT due to these things, but is caused by the sonics of some secret mathematical process that only Samplitude possesses, well then, the burden of proof is on them.

Repeat: no one is questioning your preference in software. Only the unsupported claim that it contains unique sonic characteristics unobtainable in other software.
