I wish the whole "pro" thing would just die (no, this isn't an anti-Behringer post, per se ). Back in 4-track days nobody cared about pro. Then a few people could afford ADAT, then PCs, then suddenly it's 100 tracks on every tunes and 13 plugs on every track. But the music isn't any better, just a bit more produced.
Hopefully kids will take a new generation of portable tools and make some fun music again, free of all this crap (software, hardware, and mental) we've loaded ourselves down with.
I'm pretty sure you are talking about a generation transitioning to mobile technologies for recording purposes, but I agree for a different reason. PC recording has always been problematic for me so I got a Tascam 2488. It lets you track, but even with the built-in advanced functionality, the machine basically forces you to record full tracks and fix mistakes by learning to play parts rather than piece together individually recorded guitar strums and drum hits. It is easy to use, pretty fool-proof and reliable, and is forcing me to focus more on what I am playing and how well I am doing it.
Incidentally, in reference to an earlier quote of yours, while I like the new designs you've got out, I definitely still love my Naiant omnis with the waveplates from when that design first came out and the mic was built into a full-size Neutrik XLR jack.
