I started using Ardour3 almost as soon as it was out because I liked the
improvements, but I also found it pretty unstable and was constantly
saving snapshots because it was crashing very often or losing the undos.

Now I'm using Ardour4 and it seems MUCH more stable.
the top of my head, excluding MIDI:
- the grid interface for the audio connection manager is the best and
most usable I've ever seen, in any software
- the K12/14/20 meters are invaluable for me (I was using jkmeter for
that before)

- I can configure the meters to go red at, say, -3dBFS instead of 0dBFS
- the vertical scrolling is really good now
- the summary view
- the summary view
- the plug-ins interface and management
- the pan controls
- the stacked view for overlapping regions is a sanity-saver sometimes
And of course, all the fixed bugs.
I'm sure that there are many more and even more outside of my workflow,
and I don't even remember Ardour2 well.

Is it perfect for everyone? Well, nothing is, I work daily with
Pro Tools and it gets its fair amount of cursing from me.
who are happy with Ardour2 and didn't like Ardour3 should try Ardour4.
it's at 12!) because it works and a messy upgrade can be too risky if
your income depends on that, so I know the concerns.
Paul, please be aware that people that uses software to work can be VERY
conservative, I think it's at the very least understandable and that
it's a choice that don't deserve to be insulted, especially when the
transition to A3 is not been so smooth.
