I stay with Cubase only because they have the best overall set of MIDI editing tools and because of Expression Maps. Other than that it appears to be an increasing hodgepodge of bolt-ons that don’t result in a coherent, functional whole. The lack of slick windows management alone demonstrates this.
I fear the only real solution is a complete rewrite which will never happen because of the cost in man-hours. The only thing that would drive it would be a significant loss of market share. All it would take to lose me is a worthy competitor adding their version of the features that keep me.
(It may be my lack of Cubase-savvy, but so far as I have learned the effort it takes to replicate CC data to multiple tracks is another clear example of awkward functionality that cries out to be addressed.)
