DAW options?

Would anyone be willing to lay out their experiences with DAWs? Preferably free ones? I tried waveform, but I'm thinking I'm going to use Cakewalk. A lot of people say Reaper, but the UI seems lackluster. What do yo think?

Long time Cakewalk user. It used to be good when it was paid but the stability isn't there anymore.
I'm going to save this post because I need some Linux recommendations.... Though I worry that my paid VST stuff won't work :(
- Have you tried Bitwig?
  
  No but it looks cool
- What sort of issues? Back in like 2004-2005 me and my buddy would use ProTracks, which is the same software I believe. It was pretty solid back then.
  
  I used Cakewalk Producer? back up to the mid 2010s. About that time, they made it free and I tried installing and using the free stuff. I had a really solid setup which had worked really well with the older Cakewalk stuff. I just kept getting crashes. It was interrupting my workflow. I basically gave up on the whole thing and music production in general. Sad in retrospect
