Which recording software for laptop/home recording?

am currently using an older version of cubase, and an edirol ua-25 interface on pc laptop, but the interaction is very poor, the software extremely un-userfriendly and unconducive to making/mixing music. Dog of a program, usually won't even let me record. I use a mic and direct bass/guitar input. I've used a zoom 8 tracker before and miss the ease of use. Which recording/mixing software is best on ease of use, cheap enough, and still has enough features to make good-sounding recordings? For everything from multi-track songs to field recording. Good quality basics. Many thanks!
Answer:

I have used Sony SoundForge and Cool Edit Pro (which is now Adobe Audition) I like both.
