I do think it is different in the US, where Logic seems to be in the 
ascent.  There is a legitimate question about the wisdom of attaching a 
program's fate to a single platform - and by extension, to a single 
geographical market - but, for better or for worse, Gerhard et al. have 
made their beds in Cupertino.

I would think that, therefore, Logic would want to make sure that there 
were no reason OTHER than the cost of the computer to chose, say, 
Cubase over Logic.  But there are many ways Cubase is superior - most 
obviously in Logic's deeply flawed folder structure - and, despite 
repeatedly being informed of these discrepancies, EMapple seems 
uninterested in addressing them, instead putting energy toward evolving 
into the "pro" version of Garage Band.

At the time I switched from the then-dead Studio Vision, the question 
was "Logic or DP".  I never even considered Cubase.  If I were at the 
same divide now I would be saying "Logic vs. Cubase".  I think I'd 
still chose Logic, but it wouldn't be a no-brainer.
