I'm with bitflipper, what is "Gapless" audio and how does that help/hurt making music?

 Erm, see post above?

Thanks for the explanation. Now I know why "many people do not use SONAR". I had no idea the explanation was that simple! Here I thought it had something to do with Garage Band being free.

 Hell, and I didn't even know that Garage Band had previously been incarcerated. Shows how out of touch I am...

I wonder if the percentage of users of garageband is equal to that of Sonar X1 users? Any figures?

Released just over two weeks ago ST1 V2. Since then three hot fix releases. That is pretty good customer service, although nothing to fix would be even better. I think they are running out of things to fix. The fixes are included in the demo. So you really do know what you are buying. Just being curious, does the Sonar X1 demo include up to Sonar X1C fixes ? Not that it really matters i suppose. Garry

MIDI = Chase long notes. Press start anywhere in any long note and it will sound.

S1 V3 should be along any minute.

Studio one seems to work fine for me. I like X1 somewhat less, and I find S1 to be far more suitable for my type of workflow. The gapless audio and Melodyne ARA are nice features that add to smoother productivity [lots of people complain about Melodyne/X1 here]. I think S1 is far more user friendly for me, and find a lot of Sonar people have come over to the forums there, permanently. I won't abandon X1, but I use it far less frequently, now. I like having more than one DAW to use.

There's no dedicated tempo view in Studio One, so I promptly sold it a day after I bought it. I couldn't believe that someone would release a daw in 2012 that didn't have a dedicated way to scale the tempo up and down. Yes, you can draw in curves, but the stepping was awful and a total time sink. Other than that, I thought it was good. I liked the idea of mastering my projects in the daw, so I may purchase it again just to assemble my work.

The best DAW to work with is the one that works ... for you. it's always a matter of personal choice and personal experience.

Studio One is a work in progress. They've got a lot of catching up to do, coming along this late in the game. However, being unburdened by the legacy of 20 years' worth of development means they can write cleaner code that should be more reliable and easier to maintain (less chance of breaking something when a new feature is added).
S1 does impress at first glance. It demos well. (You should attend a company demo sometime - it's like a tent revival.) But spend some time with it after having used a mature, full-featured DAW and you'll find yourself frequently scrambling to answer "how do I..." questions that have no answer. It is still a work in progress.
Where it stands today is they've got a solid, reliable user-friendly DAW that covers the basics well. Once they've fleshed it out more it may indeed become the one to beat. Meanwhile, however, its competitors (including Cakewalk) are not standing still. X2, I understand, will be perfect.

I wonder what it will be like in 20 years?
