Workflow. Routing and destructive processing is unmatched. I'm sure "destructive processing" isn't the right termanology, but the ability to apply an effect directly to an audio clip and change it on the spot. Great for tapestop effects, pitch changes, noise reduction, reversing that can lead to creative effects, ect. Other programs do the same(Digital Performer, Cubase, SONAR)but alot of DAWs do not. One of the deal breakers for me with Logic.
There's also a workflow to how many things can be done without having to click on different tools. Easy to highlight audio for editing, copy/paste, add effects, tweak without spending time selecting a different tools every few procedures.
Still all boils down to workflow, but after becoming familiar with Pro Tools, and it's functionality, it's hard to find a substitute. Keep in mind, if you get a copy of 8 or 9, by the time you upgrade to 11, you'll end up spending another $300-400(last I checked). I think a new copy of 11 is like $600, just something to consider.
