I loved FL Studio. Back in the day I had Fruity Edition and even then was confused by 80% of the things I could do with it. For the small time folks I think it offers way more than it is valued at. I remember samples that ranged from Orchestra, Metal, Hip-Hop, Electronica that I would never thought possible could be made with it. Sure a professional quality sound usually requires a professional quality environment but I think great things come from great artists not by how much their tools cost.
