Here's the bottom line:

Ultimately, while Bitwig Studio may be able to claim the more cutting-edge, flexible feature set, it is the newer DAW of the two, and Live still outshines it in many areas. No one should be in any rush to switch without carefully considering the pros and cons of both.

Thats right, but still the different in years between the DAWs are more than 10 years so i think thats logical........But again i think it will be very interresting to see how the both apps will progress in the future, maybe a new 3rd version will come where all is included!?

If anything, I just think that Ableton will respond with a newer version later this year that will include some of Bitwig's features plus a few more that Bitwig doesn't have. That will be a good thing for all involved.

This competition should be great for people who have both DAWs.

Hopefully, would be THE thing!

Well, as long as Bitwig doesn't have basic Ableton Live features such as:

1. Track Folders
2. Input Quantize
4. More flexible midi routing
5. Better vertical track zooming
9. Mutiple output support for vst's, and

Hm, I am not buying Bitwig....

Of course the "listing things it doesn't have" game can be played both ways. I notice their automation can snap to to the grid, just for one example. Or perhaps the fact that they seem to have their PDC all sorted now. That sort of thing. You can play it both ways.
So, I really wouldn't play "it's not got X feature how dare they" game. You look silly. Because trying to critique a Version 1 versus version 9 its like comparing a 3 year old to a 14 year old. If they compete at all in the same race its a miracle. And If the 3 year old has anything at all on the 14 year old, it's a little sad.

Bitwig is Ableton's prodigy offspring.
It inherited many of Ableton's genes but, nonetheless, is still a rugrat.
Ableton, however, is a veteran software. It's a stable environment that can be refined, reconditioned, upgraded, etc at anytime given time.
That being said, you'll see a monumental overhaul with the next Ableton release.
So monumental, I'm sure the people who's made the transition will most likely come screaming back like little girls.

For me what matters is not features but integration and focus.

The clever thing about Live is that it has a few basic and simple concepts that allow great customizability and flexibility.

My fear is that BW will invest its energy in flashy ideas (LAN based and internet collaboration) that will just lead to feature creep and lack of focus.

My hope is that we will see a few basic and important shifts in Live ( better midi and audio editing, more flexible routing) ... The no brainers ppl have been asking for.
