These recent polls seem purposely divisive to me and by their end, more indicative of psychological marketing than anything else. Has me wondering what are the real choices that do their best to play well in the most environments and without demanding you buy their hardware to use it fully?

So I've purposely left off anything that is one platform only or only works full featured with their hardware.
Of these, which one is the favorite?:

Bitwig Studio supports all platforms (W/M/L) and has said they will be delivering a major update at the end of this month (in 2017)? Not sure why it was omitted from your list.

Also, if people use multiple DAW's that are favorites for different purposes, what is the criteria for selecting their favorite?

They can only pick one. Which will be renamed to the Highlander edition.

I don't quite get the point of this. Could you elaborate?

Fixed and yep, only one.

To elaborate for chk071; deciding a 'best' because of your hardware is as much or more about that hardware. If for some reason, I would have to start over, I feel being locked into just PC or just MAC confining. I think I would prefer being able to pick up and leave a system the moment it starts treating me like a herd animal. Some companies/developers do their best to market us into a corner and then show us nothing but disrespect and even contempt. Like a bad marriage, "you can leave anytime, but everything you've done, may get damaged trying to take it elsewhere". For someone just starting, I feel this relationship is something to be considered.

And there is FL Studio running on Android.

But this is not a proper poll, as it lacks the option of the Fish DAW

The OP seem to be a victim of that himself.

This is just a very badly researched poll.

So many cross platform DAWs are missing from the options, where are Renoise, EnergyXT or LMMS to mention just a few.

Key word is "now". So if it's a future promise, it gets left out for "now".
Meaning no FL or Sonar (yet) and Android and iOS are a different market.
I found these by checking out what some of the online shops offer and what I see discussed here most often. I'll add Renoise. (Sorry, it seemed to reset the votes, so won't add anymore.)
And since the fish are allowed to vote, they aren't allowed to vote for themselves. But you can change your vote at any time.

You forgot saw studio. It's the most analog.

It isn't multi platform i'm afraid.

Ah. Well, I'll go back to making music then
