Opposite experience here.

Live crashes every so often. Logic is a rock.

And also, in Logic you can use up the whole 100% of cpu before it chokes at all.
Live chokes at 70%.

But still, I open up Live every time. That's really saying something about Live I guess.

If Live offered the sort of MIDI environment, or even half of the sort of MIDI environment of Logic, I would use Live all the time.

It's hard to really describe unless you've used both, but it's a matter of things like being able to open more than one MIDI piano roll have one set to not roll with the play bar, and the other to. So say you've looped a part, but aren't sure you like how it's reacting with your other improve MIDI line, and you want to see what changes in the lead line while looking at the pattern of the looped line. You get to the part that's fuzzy and notice you need to move a single beat back a few ticks.
There's no event list in Live, and no key command that opens up a MIDI piano roll into a full page, it's all mousing. Live is still limited when it comes to editing MIDI. you can do it, it just takes longer than in other DAWs.
Logic sucks as a live performance tool though, everything ends up in Live, I don't bother with Logic live.
