I don't worry about skins and stuff.
I started routing midi drums to other tracks and converting guitar parts to keyboards after and stuff after a few hundred hours.
I have used Cakewalk for donkey's, going back to the mid 90s. Started with Cubase, then gradually moved over toe Cakewalk. I had the last paid version, full monty, before it went free. The latest version is unbelievably well featured, and for free!
I have had a few issues with Cakewalk though. It's been glitchy and some of the midi routing can go weird but they seemed to have ironed most of that out with the latest versions. Its' not perfect, and if I were starting again with something that costs money I would probably go down the Cubase/Studio 1 route, but for a free DAW Cakewalk is outstanding and IMO leaves Reaper standing.

After 10 hours I had recorded a song for my band with midi drums and synths
After 100 hours I had setup dynamic colour coding so any track with bass in the name turns purple etc.
After 200 hours I had setup a complex set of folder tracks and sends to cope with any conceivable combination of instruments and saved as atemplate
After 300 hours I mastered automation items.
After 500 hours I had installed the SWS extensions and integrated them into my workflow
Before I knew it I was renting cheap motel rooms so I could get away from my family for long enough to write customer JS plugins and scripts to accomplish tasks that consumed at most a few minutes of my time per month.
