Reply to Should I buckle down and learn ableton?

So a while ago, I tried to get into ableton, but there was something that just wasn't intuitive about it to me. For whatever reason, it didn't translate that easy to me, and I started looking into Maschine. I seemed to be able to pick up on Maschine a little easier, and with a background of working on an MPC, it made it the easy choice. I've been using it for a couple of years now.
Not too long ago, I was talking to a friend about doing some colab work. He seemed to treat the fact that I worked inside of a maschine as majorly detrimental. Obviously working in different software is an/the issue, but he seemed to take issue with using it as a DAW. According to him, "we need to get you on ableton".
My question is what areas am I being majorly hurt on if I'm not using ableton/logic/etc.?
