So true.
Such a killer feature. Once you get a taste of it, it’s hard to go back.
Unfortunately, I had to do just that, as the Studio One implementation (awesome as it is) has one tiny flaw that became a show-stopper for me: any “patterns” (a.k.a., shared copies / aliased copies / ghost copies) get lost in the transformation to audio and back. 
This unfortunate side-effect essentially removes the pattern capabilities of Studio One. Being someone that has used patterns since early drum machine days, losing that, and having to manually update regions across the project, become unacceptable, real quick.
In fact, it essentially made Studio One tantamount to not having even a basic “freeze” function, since there was no way to turn that off – it’s “transform” or nothing.
So, Steinberg, if you’re listening, please don’t impose this same artificial limitation when you add this feature.
