Defenitely. Plus it's sheer nonsense too. While it might be true that not
many pros use Sonar/Cakewalk as their sequencer, it might also be because
most pros still use Macs and both Cake and Sonar simply don't exist on Macs.
Apart from that, like 3 years ago Cakewalk has by far been the most stable
of the three big Windows sequencers. It had way less hardware problems than
both Cubase and Logic.
Sure, it may not be advanced enough to achieve certain things, but while me
(and many other people) were running into endless configuration problems
(for me it fortunately only was Cubase giving problems, they instantly ended
when I switched to Logic, but that was solely related to the fact that I
used an AW8), most Cakewalk users were happily recording and mixing.
Also, at least back then Cakewalk seemed to be way more efficient in terms
of CPU usage, certainly not an unimportant thing some years ago where
computer horsepower was not where it is today.
One good example which even made it way more "pro" than the competitors was
that it automatically did some (pretty much efficient!) hardware check
during the first install and it then autoadjusted some parameters to make
everything running smooth right from the first start.
And then, if you only need to record audio, why in the world would you need
something else but a stable recording app? Sure, Cakewalk isn't something
for me because love VSTis and plugins, also I seem to be a bit of a nerd
when it comes to sequencer choice (Logic is just the only one I can take),
but that doesn't mean anything.

I used to record with a P133 with Cakewalk. I used to regularly be able to
record / playback over 16 tracks of audio with DX effects. It was a great
little platform.

The things I miss were unlimited undo, proper audio editor, ie zoom in and
snip, draw etc. the audio at any point and know it will be exactly on the
beat etc... and Cakewalk sets itself up automatically with proper buffer
settings etc. for your hardware... ahhh! those were the days back in 95 (as
far as I remember...)... I wouldnt go back though!
