It is very user friendly. Sounds great and comes with good plugins

The interface is ugly.A lot of options are hidden or missing. It's not the best DAW to use for editing or recording. Even though, a lot of people use it this way.

It is way more user friendly compared to Pro Tools even though Pro Tools is the industry standard

Many of the existing instruments/effects plug-ins needs a major UI change. It needs to be more user friendly. Also, it is only available on Mac platforms.

Not that I am aware of. You can change region colours, but not the background. Read more
