FWIW, as a new convert to Cubase (from Logic) and potential Nuendo user (just as soon as 6.5 comes out), I find it pretty refreshing that these kind of discussions can even take place with genuine developers and their representatives. Try having open discourse with Apple devs on Logic, or even Avid regarding ProTools (both products I’ve used for upwards of 10 years) and you’ll get nowhere unless you raise a support case - something you usually have to pay for.
No developer will please everyone all the time, but the fact that they appear here and make honest contributions in public space is a major credit to Steinberg.
