It use to be a toss up between games and DAW stuff.
Modern games pretty much suck these days and are bloated.
Sample developers are going in the same direction with bloat.
Developers are trying to push the sub model.
Some get acquired by investors who are clueless about the DAW market and piss all over things. I'd be surprised if Reason is aound 10 years from now.
Many of these negatives will start to eliminate our choices and that's probably a good thing.
I think Badlab has gotten much better than when it was Cakewalk. I still promote it to people looking to switch DAWs.
