I don't know one guitarist who switched from, say, a Fender to a Gibson. They play both.

Although Gary Moore was a famous Gibson Les Paul player, he would often play strats in his early days. Ritchie Blackmore started with Gibson ES than switched to the Fender Stratocaster. Jimi Page Replaced tele with a LP.  So it's not uncommon to finally settle with a particular "weapon of choice". I still don't have a Gibson guitar in my arsenal, although I own a very rare Epiphone FlameKat.

You're already talking about him.

It's just interesting to hear what people do in regards to multiple DAWs within their workflows and how SONAR fits into that.
 
Meh. I thought it was interesting.

It depends on who is driving and what sort of things you are doing. To me sometimes Sonar feels like a clunky old truck and Studio One is the sports car.  For me personally I don't need multiple DAW's either. You can really do everything on just one and you only have to remember one set of keyboard commands and workflow. The moment I start using a different DAW everything slows down.
 
The problem is too that many don't know how to do most things on the other DAW so they think they cannot be done. e.g. opening multiple projects in Studio One. You can, and not only that have scratchpads for all of them! Having said that what I really mean is for me a lot of DAW's are very similar so you are not really achieving much by using two of them. I do use a second DAW and that is Mixbus but the reason for that is, it is nothing like Studio One. Very different. Two very different DAW's can work. And compliment rather well.
 
The AR16 mixer will probably lock into Studio One better as well. The Presonus hardware and software is quite integrated.

therein lies the answer to the OP's question.

Here's the thing I don't get. Why does it have to always be "switch to" or "dump" or any other such thing. It's not like Splat will suddenly be rendered inoperable because you installed another DAW on your system.
 
I currently use two DAWs regularly. SPlat and Reaper. I mostly stay in SPlat for creative process stuff (writing, tracking, mixing) and for more hardcore engineering tasks that SONAR isn't as good at (intensive wave manipulation, intricate tempo mapping and I'd likely use it if I were to track a full live band due to it's low resource footprint).
 
This method serves me VERY well and in fact made me much happier with Sonar. The only thing that made me REALLY cranky in the past was when I needed to perform a specific (and often times extremely laborious) task and the Sonar projects would slowly become more unstable (because I was pushing it too hard in a direction the program did not want to go). Now when that seems likely to happen for a specific phase of my projects I do the work in Reaper then drag the files back into Sonar when it's done.
 
Also, if I had the money I'd definitely try to acquire other DAWs so I could have access to features/workflows specific to those programs (as well as for curiosity's sake and compatibility with other studios if they request it).
 
So my answer is...

Boom, there it is.

Hola, llevo con sonar desde sonar 4 producer, sin duda he visto y sufrido problemas, pero cada vez menos, siento que estes pasanso por estos problemas, creo que si te sientes mejor eres muy libre, de hacer lo que quieras, a mi me va bien como voy, todos los daw tienen sus pros y contras, suerte

This.

Pete Townsend dropped Gibson (and Sound City/HiWatt) for all Fender gear (amps as well). At least he seemed to have gone Fender loco when I saw them at the ACC the tour Entwhistle died. I think that was in large part an endorsement thing but yeah... pretty epic purge.
 
Maybe that's no longer the case but it was certainly odd seeing the cherry SG loaded with P-90's and the HiWatt stacks completely replaced with Strats, Teles and what appeared to be a pile of Fender combos.
 
Sooper peeved I didn't get to see The Ox live. Dood was an animal on bass.
