Yup, I've been using Cakewalk since its DOS days. I use Sonar 4
Producer Edition: if Paul is calling Logic giant, then so is Sonar.
Another one to consider is Ableton Live 4 - nice MIDI implementationa

Seq 808 is the best (IMO) simple software step sequencer for Windows.

My Kyma is BAD ASS at MIDI, too.
