Most people are too lazy (or busy) to change once they've learned to do
adequately what they need to do. They'll change if they must - e.g.,
their old computer died, they got a new computer with different software
on it. But they're generally not going to change on their own, even if
the software is free, better and easy to use. Look how many people still
use Internet Explorer, even with other, better and more secure browsers
a simple download away?
Also, how many professional musicians use PC hardware in performance?
The only ones I've been close enough to see on stage (Al Dimeola, for
instance) use Mac.
