Same feelings here... Constant crashes, bugs, VST problems, an uncertain business model (Where is the "roadmap"?). I really used to like SONAR's UI but currently I can't work with this program and I don't like the "if it's free you can't complain" way of thinking of some nor do I want buggy and meaningless "monthly updates" anymore.
Am I the only one? I am not trying to offend people, I am making a constructive criticism to Bandlab Team.
What is your computer setup like and what VSTs are you using with issues?
I don't have crashes or experience bugs (outside of clearly pushing VSTs beyond what my computer can handle. Only VST problems I've had were with Waves...and I'm positive it was a Waves problem, not Cakewalk. Other DAWs don't provide a roadmap.
The GUI hasn't changed (thankfully) in about 8 years...so it sounds like a personal problem.
What updates do you need to make music? As long as the current program runs, I seem to be able to make quality productions with it.
Where is the "constructive" part of your criticism?
