It's a groundbreaking music creation and production application for Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista/7 that makes audio recording, MIDI sequencing, and audio mastering ridiculously simple right out of the box.

Studio One changes the rules of the game with fresh code, innovative drag-and-drop MIDI mapping and plug-in management, auto-configuration with PreSonus hardware, insanely good

Here are some reviews. Note that none of them complain about the price or the GUI.
There are others, including a SoS review of version 2 (PDF available from Presonus), TapeOp, and others.

Reaper's commercial license is $225, btw.

I use -or have used- ProTools, Logic, Digital Performer, Tracktion, Ardour, Mixbus, Reaper, and probably a few others. Each has its strengths and weaknesses. Studio One provides a well-balanced DAW at a reasonable price (I've only purchased my copies when they've had sales, and find the MSRP a bit high, but that's a common thread with most DAWs).

For me it's been stable, has all the features I need at the moment, and is very easy to use. I had not used it in months and most of my experience has been with other DAWs. It was easy to load a project with 18 tracks and start mixing. There was no need to consult the help in order to group tracks, move them around, add AUX channels, assign tracks to different outputs, etc.

I do wish that plugins would appear in specific folders, by manufacturer or by type.

If I want a powerful, cross-platform DAW with a pug-ugly, un-Mac-like interface, I'll save the $260 and get REAPER, thanks.

Some good ideas but the GUI is just a mess. Totally not intuitive to work with.
Ableton Live is still way ahead.

it's up to 2.0.4 already and it looks like a very promising daw without any aggressive locking systems (like usb dongles). i heard it's also drag and drop heaven compared with most daws.

After switching from Cubase to Logic then to S1, found this app has some of the best workflow of both.

This is an impressive application, particularly considering it is still a 1.x program. Writing a detailed review here may not make much sense, so I'll point potential users to Craig Anderton's excellent review:
http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?2505686-PreSonus-Studio-One-Pro-DAW
Craig covers recording, MIDI, mastering, and includes images, audio, and video.
During NAMM 2011 Presonus offered the Artist version for $20.11
The Artist version lacks some of the features of the Pro version, such as 3rd party plugin support, but still is a stable, powerful, easy to use DAW. It offers support for PPC which is a plus for those of us still run using PPC Macs.
Highly recommended. I think the regular price is a bit expensive, though, but thanks to their promo I'll be happy to buy an upgrade to Pro once version 2 comes out.

Studio One changes the rules of the game with fresh code, innovative drag-and-drop MIDI mapping and plug-in management, auto-configuration with PreSonus hardware, insanely good audio quality, unlimited tracks and plug-ins per track, and a powerful, inventive Start page.

And although Studio One Pro hit the scene just months ago we've already added even still more pro chops with Version 1.6. From tracking to mixing to mastering and distribution, it's the creative environment built for intuitive use, speed, and efficiency-and yet it's robust enough for the most complex productions.
