I started in the "traditional" linear DAW Digital Performer, and eventually got a copy of Live 3, which upgraded to 4, including MIDI instruments, VSTi's etc. The initial and still greatest to me advantage of Clips and the Session View in Live is/was the beginnings of an arrangement, working out a verse, chorus, break, bridge type song structure is nicely quick, same with setting up a song with 25 separate randomly arranged riffs, etc.
Linear is still much much better when it comes to nuance, so after the arrangement is done, adding in little elements here and there to make the song complex.
Plus certain types of songs and certainly orchestral type mock ups just aren't conducive at all to Session Clip firing.
More or less I would guess I'm not alone in saying I do use clips and the clip arranger in Live, Bitwig and now DP, but I rarely if ever just use clips, at some point it goes into the arrangement or linear page and gets refined etc.
