I see all the new features and for me only the lanes and groupedit add value. I record real musicians unlike the majority of their users who are excited about loopmash reloaded. I wont go into all the things WRONG with current cubase workflow, stability (vst bridge) and their terrible customer support but I am having great success in Reaper so far and continue to see Cubase as getting more bloated with a ridiculous maze of design.
The FIRST thing that should have been fixed is putting prefs in modules so you would never again be told to TRASH all ov your prefs to solve a problem. Ooooh. Look something shiny !!
The lack of interest in making Cubase a truly pro daw and chasing the beat boxers instead is funny to me but tells me I simply picked the wrong daw. The last $200 upgrade from 4 to 5 was for bug fixes because there is not one new feature I used in it. Rock on!
