No, it's the one that became dominant in the early 90's so everyone learned it and became familiar.

Have you ever tried to take a Pro Tools session to one pro studio to another? Worrying about compatible file formats isn't something you want to do at $100 an hour. Especially considering a lot of them don't have engineers that are Logic proficient. Sometimes even old PT files or Windows PT files don't come up correctly.

So, to keep everything running smoothly people just stick to PT. Not because it's better but because it's what everyone knows and is prepared for due to the act that everyone is PT capable and has been since at least '93.

Feature for feature it's not better but for universal acceptance it kills Logic and that matters a ton in pro enviroments.
