An Increadably Powerful Digital Audio/MIDI workstation.
DP, from my perspective, is like the top shelf wine that gets hidden away in the secret cabinet of the pros.
My guess is that MOTU likes a little controversy around their product, which observably has a bit of a underground-like "cult" following. Bringing to the table a commitment to master this extremely adaptable and expressive tool, is the antidote to the accessible barrier to entry. The payoff for the work to learn this DAW will be enormous with a use versatility that is unmatched in my experience.
I have used this software from the start of my recording and teaching career and have always been fascinated with it's design. Kinda like "Photoshop" for Digital audio and midi production in all of its phases. Highly recommended.
Not for most people
You have to really want this software. Otherwise be prepared for no sales, no updates, feeling like your chosen DAW has been abandoned. Extremely niche DAW. I would give it 2 or three stars but the lack of any sales at all gives it the boot. My worst sofware purchase ever. A 5 star rating confuses the heck out of me even for people who have been with it since it has not been updated in a very long time. Did I mention it is the ugly duckling of them all also. Whoops!
