As a long time Ableton user I can't help but be disappointed by how marginal the improvements are in each new version

This is stuff that honestly should have been in a free update

Bitwig is a bit better but I'm desperate for an actually good OSS DAW (Reaper is neither FOSS nor good IMO) even I have to make it myself eventually

I liked deadmau5 observation about Reaper: it might horrible, but if you learn it, you can do anything.

The thing with their changelog is that they do bring new stuff on minor versions. 12 got up to 12.4, and each of those minors got a significant amount of new things:
