As a hobbyist musician I'm bemused by the stickiness of the concept of a DAW. There are so many all-in-one devices that meet the definition of each letter in the acronym. But DAW is a proxy for something else, vaguely more professional or expensive.

Then you have the idea of DAWless. Oh well, every field has its vestigial jargon.

It's like you're accusing me of putting the DAW on a pedestal when I said calling this a DAW diminishes it. I must have misunderstood your comment.
