Using MOD  trackers to compose music is EXTREMELY limited and cumbersome. 
One has to make music from limited lenght samples with an extremely 
limited amount of audio processing options. 
Also, the amount of tracks available for MODs (at least how i remember 
them back when i was a kid) was 4. I think there are 8 track mod 
derivatives out though. 

I'm surprised you even compare it to Professional sequencers like CuBase, 
Performer, Cakewalk. I have all of them and more and find that they are 
just in a different league.
