Short answer: The point is that they’re happy with the application the way it is. Other users demand more from Cubase. However, since 7, it seems to be regressing in many more ways than it is evolving.
I urge you to voice your opinion in this thread: http://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=51853 that I created, so that users who demand more from this application can have their voice heard.
P.S. I quoted you original post in the other thread because I thought it was very concise and informative.
Cheers
