Considering that the pro engineers have been using Pro Tools their whole career. There was a complaint on the FL Studio forum about not having ARA. Pro Tools, FL, Live, and Reason doesn't have it. Their comment was "Perhaps ARA is more useful for professional DAW's." Well the industry standard doesn't. Some DAWs cater to genres. So if I had a band that wanted to do some recording I'm probably going to use stuff like Bandlab, Reaper or S1. There are complaints that DAWs that are great for recording are trying to move to the EDM crowd.
Some people also treat DAWs like they are religions. I've seen people get flamed for switching over legitimate reasons.
