This morning, I received an email from PreSonus asking me to take a brief survey about why I hadn't upgraded. Not being shy about sharing my opinions, I clicked on the link and was presented with a one-page, 9 or 10 question survey. One of the questions asked me about the music genre(s) I create music in.
 
Was Blues even a choice? No.
 
Was Jazz even a choice? No.
 
Must not be for me, then, right?
 
Just one more confirmation that I made the right move...to SONAR.

This was mentioned on the Presonus forum too.  The possible answers are fairly slim...
 
Did you notice that in the "second DAW" question Studio One isn't listed?   Since that is my second DAW, I left that one blank and completed the rest (including my satisfaction level with DAW 2).
 
What the heck though, I'd be happy to receive a free copy of Studio One v3.

That's why I completed the survey. 

It puzzles me how a sophisticated (one assumes) company deliberately limits its sales and strategic growth opportunities by focusing on one sector of possible users: those making loop-based EDM on tablets. Haven't they got anyone in Marketing with broader ambitions and horizons?
I like a lot of features of S1 and sometimes use it for audio-only projects, (as MIDI has always been given short shrift in S1), but I've never felt I 'belonged'.

I have no clue what is going on. What survey is this?

You are completely wrong on this as I pointed out in another thread here.  Studio One is not focused or limited to EDM music being produced on tablets at all.  That limitation is in your thinking.
 
I and many others use it for a huge range of styles and yes even professionally.  It can basically do whatever you want with it.  Most of us are running super powered desk top systems too.  It is also not for audio only projects either.   I have a powerful external midi hardware setup and use a lot of VST's too.  Watch the Groove 3 video on midi production in Studio One and you will see.  It handles all that very well.  Midi features are much deeper than most Sonar users think.  In some areas superior.
 
Also V3 is way better than V2.  Anyone thinking otherwise is simply wrong or out of touch.
 
Sonar users who use Sonar as their primary DAW and use Studio One as a secondary DAW will always know Sonar very well and not quite know Studio One as well as the primary Studio One users.  In many cases not know it very well at all. The best place for more accurate information on S1 is the Presonus forums.  As is Sonar here.

Oh dear, I obviously left out the all important "IMHO" in my post above!

I like Studio One because I'm dumb and its easy! Also Sonar crashes everytime I try to open it. However I like the community much better over hear.
I didn't upgrade because I'm mostly broke and nothing new seemed overly compelling.

I like Logic 'cause I'm even dumber. But I do have a notion of Notion.

What survey was this?  From Presonus or Cakewalk.
 
 Sonar >>>>>>>>>Studio 1 in loop based, EDM, composition.  Working with loops is very underrated in Sonar.  Sure it's not like Live but you can lay down some ideas quite fast in Sonar.
