As Maya Angelou said..."If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." 
 

 
I'm sure I could find a bunch of Maya Angelou quotes where she talks about being blunt, listening to our youth, and accepting constructive criticism. But why bother?
 
She's probably spinning in her grave at the invocation of her name considering the sh*tshow you people put on every time a criticism (be it constructive or not) is leveled at Cakewalk.

You People ?
 
That's quite a generalization.

Must be a reference to the "cool kids" 

IMHO, Cakewalk has one of the most tolerant web forums that I have ever seen.  Most other product forums are locked down and controlled by moderators that don't tolerate any off-topic discussion or criticism. So it's quite apparent that they are open to criticism, but that does open up a two-way street ...
 
By the way, there is another forum for product features and ideas.

I'm not surprised to see you taking umbrage, Chuck, but "you people" does not equal "all you people." I would have said "all you people" if that's what I meant.
 
I don't know of a better way to characterize the "collective," but I'm open to suggestions.

Yes, and you will see I directed the OP there fairly early in this thread. However, with over 2100 views, there's obviously some interest in this thread.

I agree that this discussion has been interesting. The topic is "Sonar really needs a sampler" and I gained from it by learning about a free sampler that I can now use.  This thread is in the general Sonar forum, where I can see that it belongs because it has included discussion of existing Sonar includes that could be used for sampling.
 
But I really hate to see a good discussion hijacked by someone with an off-topic axe to grind.  If you feel you have a pet feature that is not being given equal consideration, no need to post here.  This is not the place to debate that.  You are wasting many others time if they are trying to read this thread.  Please be considerate of others is all I am saying.
 
Peace!

The purpose of this forum is to help people get the most out of SONAR. I don't consider telling people about the options for accomplishing what they want a sh*tshow.
 
Think of the implications for the program as a whole for all users. There are free, high-quality samplers available as well as high-quality samplers like Kontakt if you want to go ne plus ultra. Furthermore, there are features people would really like to see in Cakewalk for which there are no alternatives. Which should Cakewalk prioritize? Developing unique features, or a me-too plug-in? I prefer unique features but YMMV.

I'm not hijacking anything, and I don't have a "pet feature." If you don't see how it all relates, that's your problem. I support the OP and have said as much in this thread AND in the feature request.

It's not all about you, sir.
