In the country that produces the highest-grossing features on the planet a different DAW is the standard. Tell any engineer using that DAW that Nuendo lacks a proper group (“link”) track feature and VCAs and has problems with .aaf files and he’ll shake his head in disbelief.
Some things just are so basic they need to be there and work. Some other things are just as you describe delicious, but really pale in comparison to what is desired in some types of work. A lot of the complaints are about some things that are that basic never changing (or, changing them for the worse when nobody asked for it).
But I do appreciate you creating an account only to complain about complaints. If it had been only complaining it’d have been unacceptable no doubt.
