Reason 7

[Tony Scharf]

I have to agree.  The Software works best when you use it by itself
and keep the amound of software you dependent on to a minimum. Kind of
like hardware way..

I keep a balance of both around.  When one is causing me grief, I can
always go play with the other.

Somehow developers have digitized annoyances that are less than or equal to dealing with physical gear into the digital domain. I think "agh gotta move this synth over here to make room for this and then re-hook up all the audio and midi" is >= than, "shit I have to install the NI complete update from 8 dvd" or "god damn I have to re-license my synth license via ilock, since it disappeared because the logic board was replaced in my computer."
