Default DAWs as operating systems
Thought this might be fun...

It strikes me that DAWs are roughly where operating systems were around 1997 or so. In analogy:

Pro Tools: Mac
Cubase: Windows
Nuendo: Windows NT
Logic: NeXT
Reaper: BeOS
Ableton Live: Amiga
Ardour: Linux
Sequoia/Samplitude/Sonar (I can never tell them apart ): Solaris
Digital Performer: VMS
Reason: Timex Sinclair
...

You forgot Garage Band: OSX

Where's Dave Cutler when you need him

The Pro Tools-Mac is handholding goes way back. Both are Hardware Purveyers. Also that time frame was where Apple very nearly foundered. Figured out what made Apple great and recovered. And it wasn't the nuts and bolts hardware-as stylish as it was.
