That's one of the reasons I think FL is a great DAW, because there's no session mode, only an arrangement mode. You're forced to compose rather than loop endlessly or muck about tweaking parameters.

I think Live is geared to "do whatever you want, quickly" as opposed to Bitwig being "make any sort of noise you can imagine" or FL "write whatever you want, quickly".

All great tools, just depends on what you'd like to do, honestly. Nothing is inherently bad.

I had the opposite experience with FL Studio.

I think the problem is that there's too many different ways to do the same thing in FL Studio, whereas Ableton Live keeps it pretty simple in terms of workflow.

There's no session mode, but you get that sequencer instead. But to be fair, I never used session mode in Ableton, only arrangement.

But at the end of the day, DAWs are so personal. Everyone has a different preference for something different.
