I don't really compare it to Audition or Cool Edit, though. Those
two programs are really single audio file editors with some
clunky multi- track features bolted on.

Audition is the continuation of Cool Edit _Pro_ after its
acquisition by Adobe, and it was/is a multi-track recorder. I've
used it with various multi-input cards (up to 32 simultaneous
tracks) for decades.

Yes, I know and I said as much. But Audition's multi-track features
seem to me to be extremely clunky and hard to work with, at least in
versions 1.2 through 3. Maybe later versions are easier. Maybe it just
doesn't fit in with the way I think and work.

The best reason for the existence of multiple apps is that people think
and do things in different ways. For example, I have no tolerance for
DAWs that have a pseudo-hardware style of user interface with knobs,
sliders, switches etc. So, working with waveforms and having precise
parameter adjustments via input boxes and curve adjustments is a huge
improvement over both traditional hardware and their software imitators.
But, I can understand why some would find that kind of UI challenging. ;-)

Cool Edit was a single-file editor only, no multi-track features.

Which is why I differentiated between them by underlining "Pro".
