Love the idea, but could never get into their software. It always felt very alien, especially on OS X. I figured it was due to whatever Java UI framework they were using.

Has that changed it recent years? Does it feel more native? I just set up a new machine, maybe I'll give it a whirl.

>Does it feel more native?

No, it feels like a good app. Doesn't have to feel native, same way Photoshop or Vim doesn't have too, they just have to be good pro tools.

Of course native is better, but only if all other things are equal.
