We know what you're up to. The Avid mafia are surrounding your mom's basement and are going to confiscate your mbox if you don't run for the border.

I work for Satan. Does that count?

Seriously, I've used Reaper, Sonar, Nuendo, Cubase, and PT. I keep coming back to PT. It is Intuitive and clean. I don't need unlimited plugin chaining or customizable key mapping. I just need a clean and straight forward DAW. For me that is PT. NO MATTER THE PRICE!

I'm amazed that in all the discussions here about DAWs, it's rarely mentioned - PT's sounds better - and after all that's THE most important thing
Oh.... I moved from Logic & PT's to my ears is more 'solid', 3d, deeper & wider, and the final bounces sound like the timeline

Nah, I've been using PT LE 6 7 8 9 but since I have Logic 9 I tested it out and got better sound in my mixes. PT and Logic don't sound any different to my ears. Just playing raw tracks. Why I got better results in Logic may have to do with what plugins was used, different workflow, I don't really know. Bounce faster than realtime, freeze, track presets etc is things I appreciate to.
If PT had those things I would switch back in a blink. I like the workflow in PT but really don't think it sounds better.

Macdonalds would be my guess

But LE is a lame duck, intuitive or not it lacks features that are key to making anything significant, especially compared to other daws of the same price. For the creative musician it is a mismatch because of the lack of midi features. LE exists as a teaser to get people to buy the $8k pcie card. So know that before you getting too involved. So now you know why LE is made anyway, it is the intuitive way for Avid to sell it's product..

I used LE for a while and have a different perspective.

Think of all the limitations of four track. Yet, an extremely talented group of people made Sgt. Pepper! Also, I know guys using Motif's with a 128 polyphony limit that produce better tracks than some with Logic having a plethora of MIDI features.

The features that LE lacks does not make it incapable of making professional music for someone who knows how to do so.

PT just plain works for me, and the others always feel like a royal PITA to use(granted, users of other DAWs may feel that way about PT). I started with PT as it was(and still seems to be) the defacto standard, so why not learn the DAW that is most widely used?!

+1

I started on Logic, then Cubase. Shortly after, I took several production and mixing courses that used PT. I've been hooked ever since.

The last version of LE was PT8 LE. Just sayin...
