Should I spend my $$ On Sonar X3 Or Logic X

This is interesting (Craig Anderton @ Cakewalk forum):

Well I'm not a programmer, so I may be totally off base here, but it seems that Cakewalk did a whole lot of work under the hood in going from X2 to X3. If they put the same amount of work into X2a, then I assume they'd have to charge for an X2b update and at that point, it would probably make more sense to update to X3.

So, all those Cakewalk customers who purchased X2 and had issues with it, never got their paid DAW fixed. Instead they would probably make more sense to update to X3. This is really something... and one of those reasons I'm an ex-Cakewalk customer - even I never upgraded from X1 to X2.

If you think this is an ok way to do business, well, think again.

I think this is someone admitting he's making a series of assumptions about something he wasnt involved in, as a possible explanation of a hypothetical situation, and you trying to draw a completely unrelated conclusion from that. So, no, no need for anyone to think again except yourself.

i think it really shows how the developer viewpoint severely differs from the consumer viewpoint. i do not think consumers are in the wrong, either. Do the developers have valid motivations? Maybe yes, but the execution shouldn't penalize their customers.
