I find that in Tracktion, I have to do a lot more mousing, scrolling, and resizing windows. I don't want my piano roll to be shared with 3 other windows. I don't even want to see 3 rows of toolbar at the top like in Sonar. Just a nice large piano roll. With the excellent tool setup in SX, I never change tools. Cubase does have the potential for clutter, but also the option to instantly clean it up with it's window sets. In Cubase the clutter comes from multiple windows. In Tracktion, the clutter comes from multiple partitions crammed into a single large window where no part is large enough to do anything without scrolling or resizing. If you enlarge one partition, you shrink another. Enlarge that one, and shrink the next. This begins the endless cycle of scrolling and resizing windows, with a mouse, instead of making music. That's just my opinion though.
Excellent point !

Unfortunately SX is lacking of some rather elementary features in terms of quick and efficient workflow. Technically it's pretty much there, but the steps to get things done are convoluted by the totally f**ked up UI.

I agree. The User interface is far from ideal. However, the much lauded user interface of tracktion's is not much better.
