Nick, the answer is because Avid is primarily a Video (and simple audio) editing program.

The digital audio & sequencing programs are severely different in that they are geared towards creation of music on a multitude of levels... Mixing MIDI with samples and/or recording with Audio.

I have the feeling that there will become two versions of Logic in the future. Likely an iLogic that will be a low end version likened to iMovie. and Logic Titanium likened to Final Cut Pro.

I also believe we're not far from seeing the OSX versions of these two to be released shortly after Jaguar comes out in the next few days. I'm guessing mid September.

Personally I'm foaming at the mouth waiting for these since two other programs that I prefer to use for music have already come to OSX (Reason and Live).
