I for one think monthly fees is the deal stopper..Cakewalk has gone to far trying to increase revenue. I can switch daws on a whim. Where does it stop.

1) there is huge thread already http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3144654
2) ignore all that and visit "Deals" section...

Then don't pay monthly. Just pay up front as you've always done and everything will be as before (but better) .. You really should read more about what this new approach really is about.

CW is giving us the choice to pay up front for Sonar or pay on time also known as credit.  What you are saying is untrue and is not based on the facts.

That's right! BUT now you get to pay for bug patches... :)

We've always had to pay for bug patches.  Where have you been ?
 
A version (at least recently) has been an initial release followed by one or more quick patches to fix the showstoppers that appeared once everyone was using the product.  Then that was it.  No more bug fixes until the next version, which you had to pay for.
 
Now, hopefully, bugs will get fixed all year long.  But you'll still have to pay for them after your 12 months are up.

X3"E" was not free, nor were the A, B, C or D patches.  In order to get X3e you had to have paid for X3 at some point, which included a cost for "patches".
