Nuendo 6.5?

I just stumbled upon the online-promotion of N6’s new features:

http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/nuendo/nuendo_6/whats_new.html#c174671

Under “time savers for professionals” it says:
Optimized for mouse-free operation

I’ve never been forced to use my mouse that much like in N6, all those tabs to open and switch…this can’t be meant seriously!

Have they ever tried the new Control Room? Come on Steinberg, this is a click fest galore. I cannot for my life of it understand how they were able to destroy one of their best features, let alone unique in the DAW world???

The new Mix Console may be great if you do 8 tracks of audio, and like two inches wide channels. Also to much clicking and hovering (aaah, there was the button).
Why on earth does the pop-ups have to tell me that an insert slot is empty? I can kinda see that

And the Focus frame “following” you around (annoying as annoying can be). I know when I touch a fader or pan knob, or… God damn it, all that excess information having no mission at all, but being disturbing.

And the new “intelligent” name abbreviations. Not very intelligent at all, if you ask me. I do not want to zoom in on the mixer channels to read what plugin residing in what slot (I have tried to populate the insert slots the same for all channels, making it consistent (for me)).
Again, it may be easy to remember all your plugins and placement when having a few tracks/channels of audio. But NOT in a larger session, in conjunction with with narrower mixer channels.

The Cubase 7/7.5 and Nuendo 6 cycle has been a big dissapointment for me, except for 3 things (in C7.5):
Track Visibility (didn’t have to change everything GUI wise to implement this IMO).
Track Versions (finally, after many many requests).
Tab to Transient (which in fact doesn’t use the Tab key???)

I gotta quit now, before my head hurts.

I just scrolled through this topic and - beside a lot others - this post is so 100% describing my situation.

I am feeling more and more “comfortably” in the new Mixer - BUT there are so many things which are just a PITA… The stuff iBM described…
