AndertonWindows is perceived by the "Gearslutz mentality" as not a serious solution.
Ah, Gearslutz. A site where sorting out the gems from the misinformation, mistaken information, plain wrong information, fifth hand opinions and follow-my-leader fanboism is a task even the angels would dread.
AndertonThe music industry is slow and conservative.
True, but there's also the factor of having invested in and learned one huge, expensive complex application the tendency is going to be to stick with it.
Partly because going to the bean-counters and telling them that the expensive package they've been spending biggish money on for years because it's "the best" needs to be replaced by a pretty ordinary PC and new software.
And partly because of the time investment needed to learn a new system and tweak it as required.
People generally don't like having to learn new software, because they don't find it easy and they don't necessarily have much interest in that side of things to start with. Not everyone has the ability to easily transfer skills learned on one thing to another either. Daft as it may sound, there are people, many people, who don't seem to pick up clues from icons and apply the clues from one application in another, but seem to have to learn every application from scratch as a separate learning process.
All of which means the studios can be slow to change, and in turn whatever they use gets seen by the home/small scale market as the "best and the industry standard" simply because it's what the studios use.
Simple human inertia makes toppling a market leader very difficult.
