I work in radio; our "industry standard" is Adobe Audition, formerly known as Cool Edit. We have our share of PT haters too, and we're stuck using a toy that only runs on one fickle, unreliable, virus-prone operating system, but people swear by it and can tell you everything that's wrong with PT - most of which are issues that were resolved years ago or just plain ignorant comments from people who've actually never really used PT.

I have PTLE and the original Mbox at home; I feel I've more than gotten my $400 worth. All anyone who started with a different program and thinks PT is hard has to do is go to Digidesign's site, click Digizine and then click LE Boot Camp, start with issue one and go through the first few tutorials; you'll laugh when you realize very quickly how ridiculously easy PT is.

Use the scissors--bah!
