I've been using Cool Edit Pro on the PC for
a few years now.

Previously I've used tape, and had to edit out
clicks in the audio with a razor blade.

The capability for editing sound on a PC is
almost magical. 
Transfering old 4-track masters to clean up and mix/master.
Or taking a field recording and removing traffic noise,
(then accurately re-creating the room ambience that was lost with
removing the traffic noise, which was making the room resonate)
Taking snippets of sound, and replicating, modifying, stretching
into a whole composition.
A user interface that allows you to see the waveform of the sound 
and move blocks of sound around wherever you want, and place them
with sample accuracy. 

...but then I was forced into this route, needing a pc for work 
(and live, its realtime hardware all the way)
