I first watched those tutorial videos and I agree - they didn't do much, with the added challenge that all of the support documentation is obviously translated from German (or wherever Steinberg is) so the terminology is so different.

Then I did the 'First Steps' guide that an email linked me to. Takes you through a project. Eye opening. While it will still be a while before I can remember all of the keystroke commands (need to go through it again and make myself a list), it really shows what the program can do. And the language is much easier to follow.

So, before you write it off, find that email and do that project. While I am probably not going to go back and convert a bunch of big projects, I am using it for some chamber works I am currently working on, and building toward bigger things. I will use both for a good while.
