I'm with John John, I think it's valid to make a comparison to other music applications, obviously their different, but you can compare.
One of my points is that Cubase is obviously more powerful has more development and is cheaper. Its not just features bolted on to its original MIDI sequencer architecture.
Cubase has been around for a long while yes, but so has BIAB. Cubase periodically has a ground up redesign, BIAB patches bits on.
Biab still crashes more than any other application I own, I keep away from large parts of the program (like notation) because they don't seem to work here. RB is so bad I don't even go near it. Yes, it can do one thing I really need and do this excellently.

As I said in another thread, its thirteen years since Windows became 64 bit. What is trumpeted by PG is an update that makes us pay for a compromise application Jbridge, made by another company. I have spent a lot of time avoiding Jbridge in Cubase and now use it for only one task, its not a professional solution.
Taking aside the real tracks and loops, I don't see major development in BIAB 2015. There are some things like speedier loading of song lists, that are very welcome, and even labelling of instruments accurately. But for me the gui has hardly changed, these IMO are minor tweaks like adding a short cut to the tutorial videos or adding an algorithm to check for updates, or adding a feature to email a song (why? why not simply attach it?). Many of the "fifty new features" are overstated (IMO!).

That's not to say there is not a lot to like about PG (and you guys that disagree).
