Funniest of all is he just said goodbye to the wrong Forum! 
And while I don't really care what software someone uses, truth is, if you can't get Sonar to work, you'll probably have worse luck elsewhere, Sonar's a piece of Cake! 
 
Bit's text reads like something from Douglas Couplands Mirco Serfs, cool.. 

I've used a few of the top DAW software's (was a Protool HD user) so far for about eight years I've used Cakewalk Sonar Producer versions, and it's been the best and most productive work flow. Everyone has there like's (and hates) about software, but for me I've found what's most important is getting a great performance recorded, the tonality of the instruments, pre/post mixing & mastering and "Yes" I've had "Crashes" with Sonar, part of it was years ago my own learning curve (turning a midi controller or audio interface off in the middle w/Sonar enable etc.) Nothing is perfect even my PT/HD had crashes? (lots of $ in servers/DSP cards) it was a very good system and I thought if it's a "Professional Standard" it would never Lockup, & Freeze? Sonar has been a really great performer, for me! It's what I depend on.    

Oh no, how will everyone cope with this bombshell ?
 

Bit MOTU were always a more "mac-centric" company, that goes back to hhm 13+ years ago when I was in the trade.. their UK demo person Martin , knew his stuff.. BUT it was all mac... maybe because of the set hardware..
 
the tell tell signs is the installs on the PC for some of their hardware , convoluted or used to be.. install.. put ya left leg out.. plug the usb in... then do a swirl.. then reboot.. etc etc
 

Goodbye Eddy.

Goodbye Sonar, Hello long and frustrating learning curve. I'd think long and hard before chucking Sonar for something else. you're going to pay a bunch of money for something that is very similar, and will have its own set of bugs.

Ive needed some help and i emailed Cakewalk support team, the next day i had an answer and all was fix.
so i am surprise that you don't get email back from cakewalk support
 

Some of you are missing important point: it is not about the OP's choice: the Sonar is really not professional program and it does have lots of bugs and issues. Strange that it took 27 years to figure out.  I don't see why you would not be supportive: the point is- people leaving and Cakewalk needs to get their stuff together. It still is not. I would say- if you do not experiene problems with Sonar- you not using it heavily enough.

And I would say there are MANY people on this forum who use Sonar day in, day out in a professional capacity as their sole means of generating income.
 
Sonar isn't perfect (no software is) but it presents very few problems that cannot be worked around with a little bit of thought and ingenuity.
 
Most "problems" are in fact user error, system failings or configuration problems.
