The entire hardware/software debate is about as exciting as an enema. I'd rather eat a carton of saltines with no water. Each obviously has its advantages and disadvantages, and at the end of the day if your setup allows you to create music without getting in your way, then you've won.
The problem I've been trying to attack lately is that of endless options: when you start to accumulate too many choices to suit the same desired end, you get so lost in options that you start to forget the end result at which you're aiming. Having said that, I like Juho's GAS list, because there's not a lot of redundancy to clutter up workflow; and that's the kind of working environment I've been trying to create for myself in the midst of all the countless options at my disposal.
(But, I'm also a total slut for highend mics, preamps, outboard EQ's, boutique guitar amps, and the like, and I don't see that stopping anytime soon......so be it.)
