The above statement indicates to me a resounding 'NO.' I also read an interview with Greg, a much greater while back, when asked if he would have done anything differently, his remark was (paraphrased), 'I would have developed a Mac version. And not knowing what technological advances could be coming 'in years' it would be way too big a gamble to start developing the Mac version now. I thought that was the bare minimum for 'bloatware.') So, Greg continued, with a huge graphical footprint and a million lines of code, it would take his programmers 'years' to write the Mac version. (Note: what major software tool doesn't have a million lines of code. In the interview when asked about a Mac version (I paraphrase Greg's words), Greg replied that Sonar has a large graphical 'footprint' that is, the part that the user sees (screens, dialog boxes, control panels, etc.) and that 'back end' (the code) is over 'a million lines' (I directly quote Greg on the million line remark). I'm sure I'm not the only one who received the e-mail.
I'm surprised no one has discussed this particular interview here. Recently, I received a promotional e-mail from Cakewalk that contained a link to an audio interview with Greg Hendershott, founder and CEO of Cakewalk. Cakewalk Sonar free download - Sonar Producer Edition, Cakewalk Pro Audio Patch, Cakewalk Project5, and many more programs. In the case of those tasks, Sonar is useless.
'Powerful' like the Almighty? :-) Semantically speaking, Sonar is not so 'powerful' if I need to edit a digital photo or video or even write a simple document.
