The first actually usable Digital Audio Workstation ever made way back in the early 90s to replace the big ass analog audio mixing and recording consoles and add the ability to unto actions (which was impossible with analog tape recording). Thus, it became an industry standard and the new, heavily updated versions are still used in professional studios.
However, by now, with more and more new DAWs being made (such as Ableton Live, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One, etc.), many producers have been switching from Pro Tools due to Pro Tools' pricing being horribly unjustified, workflow being clunky, performance being poorly optimized in comparison and the whole system being too restricted and buggy. And it's only a matter of time before it's not an "industry standard" anymore.

The act of shaming others for not using non-tool truck (ie Snap-On) tools. Usually done to justify the thousands of dollars the shamer has invested in his tools when in reality his are just as effective as the cheap tools
Shamer... Hey them there Harbor Freight sockets ain't as good my Snap-On ones
Shamee... pound sand jackass and stop tring to tool shame me.
.. at least mine costed $20 whereas yours cost $300

When calling someone a "tool" or "tool bag" just does'nt quite define that person. Tool Chest encompases all that is
defined under "tool" and then some.
If you have ever called someone multiple names including "tool," simply replace all said names with "Tool Chest."

In woodworker's terminology: to Gloat is to be overly excited about a bargain used tool purchase, or wanting to brag and show off a recently acquired product. To put "Gloat" in your thread title, this is a modest means of warning warning others that they may get jealous over your new tool.
"This is my first tool Gloat" (The poster then shows a picture of a several hundred dollar machine they bought on Craigslist for 80% off the closest resale price)
