@prokoudine Another factor: psychology. The Ardour binary currently retails for 45USD. In contrast, Cubase Pro retails for 579USD. If you were a serious music producer and had to choose between these 2 products based on price alone, which would you purchase?

@prokoudine seriously though, I remember having this argument with a friend of mine who used to pay may £1000 for 3DS Max beta subscription, so he wasn't even using stable software. I kept trying to convince him to try Blender but he was having none of it. It was free, therefore it wasn't as good
