Fruity Loops is far from flawless. It lacks the need of creativity, as anyone can just go in and put together a "song" in about 10 minutes. Generally the use of Fruity Loops is frowned upon in the music writing world.
Needless to say, anyone not writing dance/club/techno/whatever else music won't find Fruity Loops very attractive. Well, I shouldn't say anyone, but rather anyone who knows what they're doing.
People who use programs such as TabIt or Noteworthy Composer do so because of how simple it is. You just write, and it isn't based on tying together a bunch of silly samples.
People who use programs such as Sibelius and Finale do so because it gives them more freedom, and the ability to make use of certain techniques that you just can't do in other programs, as well as it looks more professional, for those who write for performance.
And whether you make music for fun, or for money, that has no effect on what other composers who write for fun will automatically assume of you. As for examples of that here at RMRK even I direct you to this posts, as well as the ones following it.
Screw the music making world, it's not like I make music for money. I make it for fun. And you write the music on a piano roll, which imitates a piano - piano's have a simple layout and added to the classical stave feeling I don't see how writing music in FL is a flaw.
I wouldn't say FL is flawless. It is made for beginners and as a horrid side effect lacks really great tools to work with. ACID is better in sound quality. Reason is harder to use, similar layout and also more professional.
That isn't my opinion, it's a friend who has used ACID, FL, Reason / he's good, he's into IDM, Ambient, Trance - I'm just presuming what he'd say, considering he has urged me to go to Reason.
Both of you are talking bullshit. I write electronica, metal and neo-classica all in Fruity Loops, 7th year going. The fact you can make something in 10 minutes does not mean it qualifies as good and the fact you can make something in 10 minutes doesn't mean it's made for beginers, it means it has the most user-frendly interface. The artists mainly differ in liking or disliking something but I've never heard a song made by any other program that sounded better than a song of same quality made in fruity. I do my songs for months - now - do you consider me stupid by any chance? Or it's about the fact it takes skills. Doing something in 10 minutes will not get you anywhere - also - the purpose of Fruity Loops is to use it as a sequencer and manager, not a sound production tool as complete - what you get with Fruity Loops (in view of plugins) is what helps you start. What you need, however, is to spend additional 500$ - 1000$ + to use more advanced plugins and sounds with which you can then level up. The question of creativity is plain stupid, without talent, knowledge and experience you won't do anything regardless of what you use to make music. Onforth, Fruity Loops is an open VST maximum compatibility program what means it's specially designed to use the vst creations, synths, soundfonts, orchestral emulators and programs, MIDI, and effect generator, going from free to 1000$ epensive, and it includes thirty native plugins, the easiest and most advanced piano roll (and that's where you compose) which is everything you really need to compose, and on top suports the samples. You can use them, you don't have to, you may, you need not to. It is 100% NOT sample-based program, if you understand the terms of samples, anyway. Fruity Loops is the maximal freedom you could possibly get, apart from the fact you can make a particular effect in 10 different ways, you can also adjust the piano roll to your needs, manipulate with anything you create in numerous diffferent ways and use whatever has ever been made as hardware or software, including real keyboards, recording, live record, wave editor, mixing, mastering, VST, live play, MIDI, et cetera, shorty said, everything you need to posses can be performed through Fruity Loops, finally, creating absolutely anykind of personal sound you want. So please stop.
And if you really need proof -> THIS was made in FRUITY LOOPS:
