That surely explains the army of "shut up and take my money" folks in Bitwig threads all across the interwebz :) Simply put, a successful service/software is the one that was built around a particular need (of people) that hadn't been taken care of before. How that service/software evolves later is an entirely different topic. In production software, if your app doesn't assist in getting shit down, you're out of the game. Sorry, but it's that simple. Users can put up with a lot of stuff as long as shit gets done. Make a simple test. Try doing the most basic thing in existing DAWs on Linux, including Bitwig -- getting sound out of a MIDI track -- and count steps, then multiply it by 20 tracks to get a better idea of boring work you need to do every time (Hint: A3 will win, because I specifically bugged Paul about it).
