I rarely use my Ableton Live 9 Suite.  I played with an early 1.0 Bitwig and just didn't get it at all.  Now that they have a new licensing term I think I will not get nor be interested in it.

 I can't wait to see the responses on Live's forums.

With all these ultra-modern modulators I feel like someone from dinosaur era. Nothing looks familiar or convenient. The only question that comes to my mind - will it really help make better music faster?

I've played with Bitwig 8-Track (free with Nektar keyboards) a bit. Given what they're doing with their licensing, I think it's time to scrub it.

Hi Alisa ,
I feel the same way  ...
I look at that DAW and I'm totally lost looking at what appears to be the controls of an Alien Space Ship ...
As far as will it make better music faster ?
There is probably somebody out there that may be true for ..It's not me... that part I know for sure .....
 
all the best,

I see Bitwig more as an EDM environment than a DAW. Which is why I'm out.

Honestly, all of those built-in modulators are nice, but certainly not essential. There are so many ways to get the same results, or better, in other ways. Plugins like LFOTools come immediately to mind. I prefer functionality in plugins because if it's broke, I can unplug it.

what's the difference with the sonar membership model? (other than calling it "membership", or not)

I also believe rival DAWs can't do the Sonar model.
