All I can say is I've seen it reviewed in computer shopper and the like but 
I have no idea of who is using it in the real world!

So where are all these successful mainstream users of Sonar?  I keep hearing
how great Sonar is for accessibility, and how it's challenging Cubase for
industry standard status, but have yet to come across it at all, other than
in the context of VI access.  Also, how does Sonar handle plugins, created
by third parties?  I use Cubase, but with lots of help.  Know of one user
who used Cubase both before and after losing her sight, and says she uses it
by memory.

Darren, will write more off-list.
