How much of an issue is this?
If a DAW loads up within 30 seconds, then it is doing pretty good in my book.
If it is over a minute then yes it could load faster.
Studio One can be a bit slow but it is not really a drag. (maybe a minute or so)
About everything else I use loads faster (Ableton, FL, reaper, Reason).

I use Mixcraft as well, and while it loads fast, it does depend on how much stuff you have installed (plugins). I have probably 700 or so, and if there aren't new plugins to scan, it loads up in 10-15 seconds or so.

I keep reading that as "Minecraft". Do you think there's a new niche market here?
I started on Logic 5 with a PowerBook G4 550Mhz. I now have a MacBook Air M1 and it's ~165x faster! So, why is my music not proportionally better?

I'm really neither. When I seriously demoed it for a month, the vast majority of that time was fighting with GUI scripting to get a useful AND non-buggy layout. At the time (early v5), they were mutually exclusive. Then, there's the matter of the gawdawful modal wndows. They can't be changed in any way, afaik.
It may be terrific under the hood, which it is, but seriously, take a month or three and clean that shit up. Start with just integrating SWS. Is there one person on the planet who still uses the random original menus?

Cubase takes about 20 seconds, but then takes 2-3 minutes to load a typical project of mine.

Set your OS to autoload your DAW on bootup. You know you're getting coffee or tinkling on the ivories while your computer boots anyway.

The main point of getting my stuff up and running quickly for me, is when I have an idea I want to try out before it disappears.. (there are of course numerous other ways to fix this problem.. )

Loads fast here too and I have hundreds of plugins and don't even bother to turn off VST scan.
