I tend to agree with this. And I’ve tried Bitwig.

However, as someone that’s been using Live for more than 15 years, the muscle memory with the workflow is real. And my large collection of custom plugin chains, sample instruments, templates... I couldn’t find enough reason to create the momentum to switch.

The good thing is, Bitwig brought real competition, which forces Live to improve.

I agree, also could be familiarity but I think Ableton is simpler to use. It’s certainly visually cleaner, I find Bitwig’s UI a bit “information overload” whereas Ableton is pleasingly minimalist. I can totally see why others would disagree though!
