For any of you kiwis that write/produce music, what is your DAW of choice (no audacity) and why?

I recently got back into writing music after a very long hiatus and have been using Ableton Live Lite and it's a pretty decent lightweight workstation. It recognizes my midi keyboard outright and lets me make all kinds of shortcuts using my keys. I don't think I like the midi inspection window very much tho. Before that I used guitar pro 5 (lol) and produced a bunch of midi video game music.

This can also be a music theory/composition general thread. Feel free to share VSTs you like and recording methods/tools as well!
