I have been a casual BIAB user since the floppy drive was the thing. For all the things I like and dislike about the software, there is certainly nothing I have seen over the years that does what BIAB does.

There are programs like EZkeys for example that provide a different way to create a piano track but they don't really compete with BIAB.

BIAB is the base source for most of us. We may use Real Tracks or convert everything to midi.

There are so many other ways to use BIAB than creating songs no other program that I have ever seen can do the same thing or even near it.

BIAB is more than just a computer program. There is a group of people who provide help services, sell us things, and come here on this forum to interact with us. On that fact alone you will find it hard to get that kind of involvement from very many companies.
