I think despite Steinberg is on the right track, some issues are still unresolved:
Track archives and disabled tracks.
Workspaces saves zoom and song position.
Better cpu use implementation
Render in place (mono, more options)
Expression maps (overhaul)
Generic Remote (overhaul, cumbersome to work and functions still not available)
I could go on, I remember how I made everyone crazy with me request to fix the VCA problems (arm recording the tracks), but in the end they fixed it. So I think it is healthy for us to keep hammering these issues until they are resolved, everybody wins
