This, is what yields the illusion of DAW scaling.
When you open Mixcraft, your brain makes guesses as to how to make it do what you want, and probably more than 90% of the time, your brain's first guess is correct. If you have used another DAW, you know what you are trying to do. What Mixcraft does, better than any other platform, IMO, is make all of those shared features much more intuitive. All linear DAWs share more features than they exclude. I think this kind of reaction to Mixcraft is mostly psychological.
If this were a Cubase, Pro Tools, or Studio One forum, and the DAW of affection had just been Gibsoned, I can see members making exactly the same statement in regard to their favorite DAW (except for Pro Tools, where members who tried it would probably call Mixcraft a 'scaled-up' version). 11Dreams Try it! its a scaled down Sonar.
