This DAW has to be one of the easiest but most effective music making progs. The crossover was simple all of the same functionalities with a few more bells and whistles (minus touch screen capabilities) so the learning process from mobile to desktop was quick and easily picked up while giving me more creating power. Ive used garageband on my ipad for years before being able to afford a Mac. With the drummer feature, I don't even bother recording my own drums anymore and just tweak what the app gives me. You can't do a one take scratch track so you have to go back and forth between drums and guitars until you get the groove and then start to lay down the serious tracks over the drums. As a multi-instrumentalist who records all tracks myself, one by one, drums are the hardest. But the feature that tipped me over into almost exclusively using Garageband is the auto-drummer. However, I am willing to suffer given the perfect balance they have struck between power features and ease of use. It's not perfect and for a Windows user, I struggle with the paradigm shift from Windows shorcuts and control locations. I do however, for the most part, like Garageband and it's the only reason I own a MacBook Pro.
