The problem is that it's now entrenched. So people want ProTools files
of their project in the same way they used to want 24-track 2" tapes.
It wasn't the sound quality or the ease of use, it was that they could walk
into any studio and drop it down and pick up where they left off last session
without having to worry about importing or exporting.

The good news is that now that they are using 32-bit floats internally, it's
at least bit-for-bit true if you turn all the processing off. Earlier versions
of Pro Tools were not, making it pretty much intolerable for classical work.
The UI is still horrible, but at least you can be sure what comes out is what
goes in if you don't do anything specifically to it.
