Ableton makes me wish I was a better musician, because their software is absolutely delicious to use.

It's possibly the only piece of software I look forward to using. Everything is right about it. I'm currently remastering a bunch of old albums for digital distribution, so I've been using it a ton. I don't know why every UI isn't required by law to have drag up/down to mean zoom on a timeline/scrollbar type control.

I have the opposite opinion: while I commend the minimal look the way you have to switch back and forth between midi sequences and your audio devices is a major source of frustration for me on a laptop screen. I'm constantly resizing the UI. When I first started I was using Live exclusively but since then transitioned to hardware and was never able to get back into it. I imagine Push might be the answer once you want tactility.
