I’m just curious who does the design for Steinberg. I mean the technical design. Is it done after a thorough research?. Or just a family member being given a shot?. Some Photoshop youngster.
Things established for the industry should not be changed IMO. Why fiddle around if its not broken?? 
This stuff has been PROBABLY tested by the BETA team. But who are those??? Any big name?. Probably not. Otherwise there won’t be any changes that work against a user…
