Never claimed Logic had anything more than a tolerable UX - just that it got the job done! As someone approaching it not as a sound engineer (for which Pro Tools was/is the gold standard for a reason!) but as an amateur composer wanting to actually have a modicum of control over both notation and the sound of my demos, Logic straddled both worlds in a way that nothing else really did - certainly Pro Tools barely even touched notation.

Though maybe I was just too stubborn to re-input things in different software for each purpose. Needless to say, on the coding side, I was very excited when Node.js was first released!
