I would like to be in your situation where all is ok and I am totally happy with the DAW I am using.
But I am not! Cubase is missing some basic functionality and this is asked for since more than 8 years. If I have to switch the DAW after 30+ years using it there are valid reasons.
For me the DAW I am using is not a religion I have to fight for. It’s a tool!
When I am missing functionality I report this. When there are alternatives to use I will use it. This is not “threatening” as you call it.
I am NOT in the team Cubase, so I do not have to praise them every single day.
I am neither in the AVID team nor in the APPLE team.
If you feel the responsibility to fight for Steinberg, Steinberg will be quite happy but this doesn’t change my position (If you want to solve my problems: Tell me how I free warp multiple tracks in a quick manner).
When you are quite happy with the scale and color assistent and all the shiny VSTi’s…good. I do not need them because I have a lot of other tools.
You might need them when you want to start as a beginner with a product out of the box.
I am always quite amused when fan boys tell us: “ooh, I do not need this, you will not need this too!”. Please: broaden your horizon…
