Uurgh, Cubase!
Last time I used it (for a uni assignment) it crashed while I was saving (at 4am - 11 hours before the hand in deadline). Then wouldn't load the song, saying it was corrupt... turned out during the crash it had somehow flipped all the ASIO inputs and outputs, so instead of having just 2 inputs and 12 outs, it was looking for 12 ins and 2 outs.
mmmm, ASIO, full of work-roundery goodness. Which is all ASIO is - a software work-around that allows audio apps to communicate with the CPU - whereas Macs have Core Audio, specifically designed for it.

That's true, Cubase is a *bit* crash-y.
I wonder if the new versions are any better?
(still uses cubase sx)

I've never had a problem with it
I have a beautiful MOTU soundcard, and the ASIO drivers present no issues. Every day I write electronic music, and record live guitar/vocals/melodica.
I'm not denying that a spanking Mac Pro with the latest version of Logic would be even less likely to break, but it's hard to justify the gargantuan extra cost.
edit: I use Cubase 5.
