...I couldn't help because I was the one who suggested conducting a user survey when bakers appeared in a recent thread.
Of course, it doesn't mean my post affected their decision. I just wanted to participate to improve Sonar, and couldn't help it.....because I'm a long-time Sonar user, too.
There aren't many cases where I'd personally want to see someone fill out the survey who doesn't own the product, but honestly, I think you'd be one of the exceptions in my book. You seem to have a well-rounded view of what SONAR is and can be, and you never seem to go off the deep end about everything single thing you don't like.
And knowing that you use multiple DAWs I see a sense of balance in your views. Same goes for your posts over at the other "S" forum. 
Thank you for your kind words, Steve. I think users have the right to complain about bugs because they paid for the features that are suppose to work. But for features that are not included in the product, I think users should simply submit feature requests and wait, instead of ranting, or start looking for a new product.
It's really nice bakers chimed in these survey threads and explained how much they care about their customers. Until recently X3 didn't look as promising as the version 3 of the other "S" daw (I don't remember finding you there, do you use a different username? Maybe I just didn't notice you?).
Now, with the new, shiny forum and the well thought out survey, Sonar's future looks brighter.
Arigato!
