Advertising $$$ is a huge reason, I suspect. Ad campaigns in SOS, Mix, EQ etc etc generate a lot of attention, and when you are beat over the head monthly with the same ads, same reviews of the same manufacturers, you get disconnected from other options.

SOS has a Reaper section, that says a lot for a young DAW.

It will spread, remember pro tools is 20 years old, Cubase is about the same and even Logic et al have been around since the mid to late 90's.

Give it time I would say. Once the pro studios embrace it, it will spread like wildfire.
