Hardcore Cubase user here because it's probably the best DAW for MIDI + VST instruments.
And the developers seem to be as wired as I am, I rarely need the manual, even for complex things.
If it ever goes away, I'll switch to Reaper, I already have a full license because I want to support the developer.
But changing the DAW (or the GFX or video software) is always a PITA that I try to avoid.
