Any other DAW's interface.

1. Area selection
2. The ability to select an area
3. The basic selection functionality that pretty much every other DAW has.

it really is odd how well regarded FL's piano roll is. it's better than ableton's, sure, but you know the old joke about winning the special olympics...

(some 'features' that I do not miss: uneditable shortcuts, *zero* shortcuts for changing snap/grid settings, no multi-part-editing, ghost notes all coloured the same, no way to quantize non-destructively, can only paste at scroll position and not playhead, relative snapping only, draw tool on the worst possible shortcut (P), have to click on the ruler to move playhead, ctrl+alt+z to undo more than 1 stage in undo history)

Track inspector, like in Cubase or Logix. Not this workaround with a single column mixer panel docked on the left side.

Have to agree with this. Not a fan at all of the way selections work in the arrangement timeline. I use the theme Blackmore and a bunch of custom icons I made for Logic and it's not too bad looking. But the plug in chooser is still a big WTF? Everyone could learn from Bitwig and DP IMO.

As far as the original question.

Actual clip launching like Live. Not an ad on that isn't half as good which is the current scenario.

Chunks from DP, it does something sort of like it, but not really, as of now. Basically Chunks in DP allows you to have an entire set in different projects that all link together and open different plug ins. So you play a synth in one song, guitar in the next, and DP chains that all together. Just like regular projects in other DAWs Chunks in DP can be dragged into each other, with much less confusion on the part of your DAW etc. So they can be containers for "Scenes" like Clips launchers, but with entirely different plug ins etc.

Articulation, Expression maps like Cubase and Logic.
Using keyswitch libraries is just better with this feature. There's a person attempting this, but like a lot of things in DAWs with code-able elements, it's not near as cohesive or complete as it is in the other DAWs. The time you save with the feature is eaten by the time it takes to set the feature up.

I wish Reaper looked better just so all the whiny, miserable "looks like the 90s", "looks like windows 3" f**ks could STFU for good. Talk about triggered, we can't have a potentially useful conversation about Reaper without all this BS every f**king time.

Just, go, go play with your candy coated DAWs that make you think you're flying the f**king Enterprise or something, make great music with your tools, maybe ask yourself why you have the need to make this point every time. You're obviously lacking something spiritually.
