Having invested time in various DAWs, for everything but mixing, I say Live beats everything out there.
Push is an amazing controller..tightly integrated..and the scales functionality it provides really helps those who aren't classically trained keyboardists.
It's already incredible mature. Bitwig is has some really nice ideas, but is still very much a baby compared the the functionality / reliability / predictability that Live provides.
The only thing Live lacks (off the top of my head) is alias / ghost clips & layered editing. But that might be coming in v10...who knows.
Cant stand Logic. I find its UI inconsistent, convoluted, fiddly and most of all...frustrating. I know some people love the thing. Obviously it works for for them, But for the life of me, I don't know how.
FL studio isn't bad, but windows only. If you're one of them people that doesn't mind wrestling with windows, so that if can handle real-time audio without glitching, than FL studio isn't a bad alternative to Live. However, if you're like me, once you went OSX, and realise it how well it handles stutter free audio (out of the box), you don't go back to Windows.
To be honest. If Live didn't exist. I'd probably be using Studio One. Its rock solid and its workflow is streamlined (in some cases more-so than Live).
