I feel like they were struggling to justify releasing major versions, and had to add superficial features to the package. After that the program acquired more weight and got slower. Here I am describing product versions 4 through 7. (GoldWave might be an exception, but it of different class.) This is not the case with any Adobe products (either old or new), or freely distributed software, which feel more or less foreign, like Linux. Navigating through menus and dialogs, and using keyboard shortcuts, don't have to be learn a new. Therefore its interface appears intuitive to a person who has worked with Windows, while also being fast. The best part about Sound Forge is that it feels like a native Windows program.
