I think you can only switch DAWs if all the tools and features remain on board. For me none of the other DAW's have that. I don't even see a "smart tool" so far? How can anybody get anything done with just that one feature. I tried most of them like everyone else and my conclusion was they are all like going back to Sonar 8.5. Why would anyone do that? And even Cubase was a big disappointment as I thought at least they had added a lot of new features,, but no, it's still way back there compared to Sonar. But as I said, this all depends on how you use a DAW.
