For me it is EnergyXT 1.4. I still use it, especially the VST plugin for easy routing and chaining, but it still feels unfinished. Newer EnergyXT just doesn't have the same appeal for me.

XT 1.4 no doubt, best DAW around until that idiot discontinued updating it in favour of that other mess.

I loved emagic Logic. The style in version 4 and 5 is still the best in colours and graphic design IMO. I missed it for a long time in the past, but not now.
I think Apple did well with Logic, but it could be better of course. If emagic continued and had Logic in both platforms, then I imagine Logic would be priced like Cubase with two or three versions (like before, Gold and Platinum) and mostly would use hardware dongle (iLok probably).
I would still prefer Ableton Live or Bitwig studio + Reaper as a second/alternative host however!

Orion also was sad to discontinue. I liked the workflow more than in FL Studio, and it was easier to understand. However, I'm glad that Richard made a hit with Dune (especially Dune 2). I believe it was a wise decision to concentrate on Dune rather than Orion which needs much more time to develop and support without that return I guess. Can't wait what are the plans for Dune 3 as Dune 2 is becoming my favourite synth very fast (I like it even more than Blofeld

)

Without doubt, for me, the biggest loss was the ceasing of Opcode Studio Vision, after Gibson buyout of Opcode.

This is amazing as it is but could have been huge, was the Bitwig of its day:(

I was more sad about losing this than losing Muzys, another great DAW, wonder what happened to the Dev

Acid Pro. Still use it from time to time but really would love to see it updated.

Opcode Studio Vision was a disastrous loss.

If there was anything close to a correct answer in this thread, this is it.

SVP was so far ahead of its time. Most of the projects listed here so far just showed potential... SVP was already there.

Edison's Reproducer from 1878.

A whole band in one sitting. NO MOUSE!
