Computer users what mixing software do you use & why

I was a Cakewalk/Sonar user until 8months ago. Now I use Nuendo. Just tried it and liked it. I can have 105 audio tracks play with 8 send FX going realtime full throttle DX & Vst's and my performance meter is at 10% But soon as I start using the inserts I can get 8 of the 105 tracks with 3 inserts going real time,the performance meter is at 75%. I stopped at 105 becuase I got tiered of loading tracks. What do you use just curious

P.S. This is not a debate just let us know what works for you.

I had a nuendo, and I switched for the Cubase Sx (same Audio, better Midi), but now I use my MPC's midi, so I think I'll buy the new nuendo 2...
very easy to use interface, I have everything I need in a few seconds...
I don't use many vst effects, only the Timeworks reverb, delay and IK Amplitube sometimes... The stuff I use sounds great (It seems to be OK 4 me, I mean), so I don't need much effects to make it sound better...

I use Pro Tools. I've been a PT user since 1989. I love the program. I know it pretty well and I rarely have crashes. It's got some phat plug-ins, that people seem to have all over the place. In my opinion, it's one of the best investment you can make for your studio. But, that's just my opinion.

Happy sampling.

I can't belive I left my MPC out of this post. It is hands down the best sequencer I have ever used and have grown to love it. I use Nuendo for mixing but the sampling production is primarily done with the MPC. I have recently started using recycle with the MPC editor. These programs are tight for what they do.
