Sonar Platinum
Can't comment on how easy the workflow is, but I can get around in it.
Notation leaves a little wanting.

Depends for MIDI editing I prefer Sonar. For audio, mixing and final Reaper
If I had to pick only one then I’d pick Reaper

I have Cakewalk by bandlab, but I prefer Realband, because I like the finetuned multiriff functions and compatibility with biab

Reaper here for most of my work. I also have an old version of Adobe Audition that I use to edit audio.

I am using Audacity. I have a long way to go before I need something with more features.

I tried Reaper mainly for the price and I really liked I used to for a couple of years, then I received a copy of Studio One Artist with a guitar amp I purchased, upgraded to Studio One Pro and never looked back. It's just an amazing DAW and they continue adding features to make it even easier to use.
If I never ran across Studio One I would have been happy using Reaper in fact I still use Reaper when I do things like import a midi drum track and need to transpose a few notes to keep my mapping consistent, Reaper is really good at doing random things like that, but over all I just love Studio One

I have been using "Cakewalk" from its beginnings on floppy disks, to its latest reincarnation as BandLab. I use Cakewalk SONAR Platinum, but still prefer SONAR 8.5

I try to do as much as possible in RealBand (ease of recording and BIAB parts generation). If I can't finish it there, then I will most likely go to Cakewalk by Bandlab (and I used Sonar Platinum prior to that; essentially the same thing). I'm working on trying to learn Studio One and Reaper (which I have purchased, along with several others), but if I've got to get the work done, ReaBand/Cakewalk generally does it for me.

I've been using Cakewalk from its beginnings as well; in the DOS stone age before Windows. Now I'm using Cakewalk by Band Labs and since I'm used to the program I prefer it. I have a copy of ProTools but haven't really used it. All I know is it takes forever to load where Cakewalk loads in seconds.

Studio One Pro
But asking for what everyone what DAW do you use is like asking what car is the best. Everyone has their own preference. If you are just curious and this is just a poll then find. But if you are looking for a DAW to purchase then there is only on advise I can give and that is try the demo of all DAWs and pick the one that best fits your workflow. What DAW works for me and my workflow may not work for you at all.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

I used Cakewalk Pro Audio which became SONAR. A year ago I did what Mario suggested and tried demos of about six DAWs. I liked Mixcraft best. Then Cakewalk by BandLab was released and I switched back to that.
If you aren’t familiar with any DAWs, follow the advice of John and learn RealBand. Then try demos of DAWs as Mario suggests.
I have noticed that many here use SONAR / Cakewalk, but more seem to be using Reaper. Several use Studio One. It would be a good idea to choose one of those three because you could get some support here.

REAPER which I think is an amazing stable DAW which is improving and innovating all the time. It has a huge user-base and totally supportive and helpful forum.
