I will give you (for better or worse) Pro tools has assumed the role of the de facto standard but, I find in my continued research of the products, there seem s to be a great deal of "Pro" guys that dislike it. Given that, I am puzzled as to how pro-tools continues to matain its market share when the user base seems to not be so supportive.
The reason is simple.
The musicians who pay for recording know the name pro tools. They are the one who ask for it.
Most pro studios have pro tools but I find if theres a 2" sitting there it is the usual tool used for recording with the recordings dumped into pro tools for editing and cleanup.
In the end they are all tools.
You have to respect pro tools for one thing and that is their business model and advertising startegy. It has made them the most common name out there for recording.
