I think what you have to understand is the way that some of us approach this 
(and not to imply that one way is better than another). For me, I built a 
computer around Logic, instead of adding it to the tools I was already using.

I first decided to buy Logic as the focus of my studio and buy hardware that 
would best support it. Thus I wanted the hardware that would be most 
supported and in the case of Logic was Mac. I realize not everyone can afford 
to work this way and to those I sympathize. However there are many people 
who's decisions are based only on the fact that the immediate purchase is 
cheaper. These are often those  (but by no means always!) who's first 
response is 'well I will just go to cubase'. While I can't blame the hobbiest 
who can't financially afford any other way, I don't sympathize with those who 
were just being cheap. Who falls into which category, I don't know and 
wouldn't fathom trying to waste time determining. 

My heart goes out to those who truley have been screwed and I just hope that 
OS X for x86 will come true. so that money spend on hardware won't go to 
waste.

It's really about your most important tool. Is it Logic, or the others? If not 
Logic, then Cubase would probably make a fine alternative I imagine.
