I don’t like the default GUI or the extreme customizability of it (in the same way I couldn’t care less that Android is 150% more customizable than iOS, I’m still an iPhone user because I feel comfortable in their ecosystem) but hey, it is what it is. It’s never crashed on me, its snappy and quick and the constant update cycle (it updates every two weeks, more or less) makes it feel like the developers are really polishing the experience. It’s not my to-go choice (I mostly use it because I teach audio production at college level and it’s a DAW that all of my students can “freely” use) but it’s stable as hell. I own Pro Tools, Logic, Reaper, Digital Performer, Ableton Live and Cubase and I favor Cubase over all of these, so I talk from a place of what I feel to be a very diverse and informed experience and although Cubase is my favorite, it’s not the most stable and snappy of these platforms. Also, although Cubase feels like a very complete and sturdy package, it’s still riddled with little bugs and annoyances that take from the overall experience of use (for example, it screwed over a very important classical recording I was doing a couple of weeks ago because of a tiny “recording stopped because of an audio dropout problem”, which was of great annoyance and was something that even the bug-riddled and sometimes-unreliable Pro Tools hasn’t done to me whilst recording). True, back in the day software updates were something occasional and even, to some extent and in some cases, unnecessary in grand scheme of things but platforms and operating systems were hardly as diverse and complex as they are today. I see your point, but I would like to develop it further with some insight.
