After 15 years on Pro Tools I've been trying SO for a month and I find it awesome.
It has everything to become the favorite DAW of the new generations apart that tiny little feature that was present in the version 4 and now seems to be disappeared.
I understand that most of the users are interested in pop music built on a click and use a workflow not directly dependent from that command, but SO has incredible audio features and could become popular also for jazz, contemporary and experimental music, popular music and so on.
(I teach in Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome. I have many students and I know their needs).
