PreSonus Studio One
Anybody here using this? I didn't think that I was in the market for a new DAW, but I downloaded the demo a while ago on a whim just to see how it compared to other DAWs and I was pretty blown away at how intuitive it is and how efficient its workflow is. Drag/drop for just about everything, keystrokes for every command, clean interface, a very cool Control Link feature for setting up MIDI controllers, stable, very cool Console view, blah, blah, blah,... Best of all, it's got all the power features that you need, but with very little bloat (and I hope it stays that way).
The new 1.5 update will be out soon and will add some fixes and a bunch of nice new features. I'd like to see a few more improvements (better handling of hardware synths, more flexible bus routing, track folders), but none of these are dealbreakers IMO and, like I mentioned, I like the fact that it's not as bloated as Sonar, Cubase, etc. It's lean, but powerful and stable - I threw every CPU hog in my VST folder at it at once and it never even hiccupped. It's made me decide to sell my little-used Cubase 5 license since a dude on KVR sold me his license for dirt cheap, and it's already getting as much use as Sonar is!
If you're in the market for a new DAW, I highly recommend checking it out.
