Damn this shite must have been lame I've never heard of it till today.

Project 5 had it's own serious hardcore fanboys who were crushed when they found out it's development was over. I used P5 before I learned about Live, and in my opinion, it was Cakewalk's attempt at duplicating Live.
Even now with Sonar 8.5, some of the users are asking for features that the new Groove Matrix can't deliver, but are common in Live:

This is why it is essential that Ableton get their session view quirks worked out, rewrite or no.

Sonar keeps improving the maxtrix view features with 8.5.2:
# Combine Matrix View cells with probabilistic Step Sequencer patterns for some generative music-making
# Drag cells from Matrix View into Track View – a bit like going from Ableton Live’s Session View to Arrange View, but in a more conventional DAW workflow
