The problem with Logic is that you need a Mac, if you haven’t got one it gets very expensive as you have to buy the Mac first.

There are many free DAWs out there that operate similar to the paid for DAWs so best to try a few to see which you get on with best, (They may be all you need) then if you want to go further and get a paid for DAW, get one that operates similar to what you prefer. (There is no one size fits all)

Mappings for all the controllers out there is pretty comprehensive these days, so in many cases it’s just a matter of selecting the right one from a menu and everything is set up for you. (Unlike the old days)
