Worthwhile DAW for Windows?

[answ3r]

I've been using Abelton Live for quite some time, but feel its lacking in several departments. What would be some worthwhile alternatives without having to go the Mac route?

The only DAW which is Mac-only is Logic, as far as I know. So you are spoiled for choice:

Reaper
Cubase
Pro Tools
Reason+Record
Studio One

And probably more.

I prefer Cubase.
