Btw someone is selling a life on Kvr. Might be worth getting it as the new version is coming out soon. IK soon.

Not only NO, but HELL NO. Have you not read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley? Consider the following (from the Wikipedia entry for Brave New World):
 
Social critic Neil Postman contrasted the worlds of Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World in the foreword of his 1985 book Amusing Ourselves to Death. He writes:

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egotism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that our desire will ruin us.

 
Entertainment and advertising are merging...and I hate it.

Seems Huxley was the visionary here.

Wow apparently 'Sonar 2015' comes with a brand new UI called' Skylight'.

Great Scott I better go back to 2011.

There's only two types of musicians and producers that live in their Mamma's basement …
 
The musicians and producers that did real good and bought their Mama a brand new house when they hit it big . They are the first type .
 
Type two is all the rest of the folks

Subscription - has been understood/misunderstood initially by many, but with time and discussion I think users have now a clear idea what Cakewalk is offering. Its not like paid usage [Adobe] rather its simply like HIRE PURCHASE OPTION [not compulsion]
 
Ranking - I may be of an old fashion type not much interested in choosing some loops/licks/groove and club them together to CREATE my music, but today lot many DAW users I find who certainly like top of list DAWs comfortable to copy paste loop and post as their creation. The numbers are huge thus the ranking.
 
Also clubbing up with new MIDI controllers/keyboards play a vital role. I use cakewalk so I searched and found Nektar. But the beginners while purchasing a midi controller will certainly overlook CW as they are not in the list of most of them. CW should bring its automapping with presently available controllers at least basic level and publish in magazines/forums/youtube.
 
Studio One / ProTools / Cakewalk I think are different from the others, BITWIG is coming up.
 
But on the other hand I feel Sonar due to change of hand from time to time lost the stability in the market, from Twelve Tone - Cakewalk-Roland now Gibson. Hope it will catch up and top the list with its present effort of enhancing features / regular upgrades and updates.
 
Cakewalk should publish more videos/tutorials afresh which can be contributed by this forum members as I have found many of them have profound knowledge. Newer tutorials to be made on new versions even that is same for X2/X3. Some of the tutorials I have seen which I didn't like as seemed to be someone reading from a book with a screenshots.
 
Cakewalk must top the list. Love it.
