I had *lots* of questions after I wasted several hundred $$ on Cubase ... which I abandoned. OTOH, there's no question about the position of Pro Tools. Popularity is no measure of power or influence either. While Garageband (a great introductory tool) is given away with every Mac, few would enjoy using it as a pro tool.

Are they "Pro Tools Rocks" or more like "wtf is up with my Cubase" and "FL Studio just gave me the finger"? Maybe these numbers reflect more about a program's counter-intuitive issues than it's popularity. What are specifics on what the search terms entail?

IMO it tells us more of complexity of the software and people, searching for answers. I think it's a weird factor to judge program popularity by.

Even if i am a Cubase user, i think that Ableton is the first. I have the feeling that everybody use it except me. i am very surprised about the cubase's position and abeton's also.
