Familarity is very persuasive. Whatever you become most familar with to perform any task is what you'll always go to when it's crunch time. It's just the way humans work. Your brain can be creative or it can work through task performance but it is very difficult and mentally draining to try and do both at the same time. Software companies are very reluctant to make any change that alters workflow for this very reason.

I've used Cakewalk products, Reaper, Multitrack Studio (MTS) and each has a task handling method I prefer. Heck, for some tasks I even prefer Audacity. But, for the things I really want to do which is to make good music tracks, learn more about music in general (think theory, chord structures and musical composition) and learn the components of music production PG Music is the only software company offering an all-in-one solution. My 2014 resolution is to learn the mechanics of using BIAB and RealBand efficently and comfortably. I want to master these two programs rather than use many programs to perform the same tasks.
