All these DAWs are great in knowledgeable hands. Some don't handle MIDI at all, so they are out of consideration here. My experience in pro studios has been that they use Pro Tools and it crashes more than they like.

You will notice I primarily use one DAW and yet I cited only the area that is considered a weakness.
