Webdesigners don’t prioritize content? Isn’t that the job of usability experts and business experts?
Anyways, more clicks are often preferred these days, as opposed to link-spaghetti where you struggle to find the one link you’re looking for. I don’t find the Steinberg site particularly bad at all. And when i need the forum i’ll just type www.steinberg.net/forums and hit enter, suddenly i’m on the forum reading this thread. Goes fast.
If i were to point to anything particular that i’d personally ask of Steinbergs web crew, i’d ask them to make the link menues more accessible to mobile users. I use my iPhone to surf more often than a computer these days, and those links in those dropdowns can be hard to click in time(?) (have to zoom in or else i’ll hit the banner beneath for some reason)
