#37I still use Reaktor by Native Instruments. It's been on the market since like '96 or something and it's ugly and clumsy as hell but it still sounds way better than anything else...

#38Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's a shame the source has been lost so everybody has to modify the object code in situ. An utter revision control disaster!
Or, potentially, the best version control system ever? Automatically forgetting dead code is a pretty sweet feature :P
Sadly there's tons of dead code just lying around in the chromosomes just waiting to be activated.

#39Warning: nerd at work. The question may be ambiguous. To highlight: compare "what's the oldest software you still use today" to "what's the oldest software you use today". The first one refers to software you have been using over a longish(?) period and the second to software that may be old that you are using even though you may have only begun using it. I hope my pedantry (pedanticism?) isn't too inane...
