Disadvantages of DAWs in comparison to others

Right-click tools are much easier to use, because the common user doesn't have to remember dozens of key commands.

Key commands are for power users who want to do stuff more quickly, and they do that well. A normal user, who might even just started to use a DAW won't use key commands.

If I'm not mistaken 1st item on the "proper" drop-down menu when you right-click is the list of tools, so it's not like "normal users" would suddenly lose access to them - they'd actually see something that they've been conditioned to expect using majority of mainstream software, i.e. a drop-down menu with things they can do with the object they righ-clicked on.

I set up my own commands in Cubase, to the extent I almost wish it was a blank slate, because a lot of it is in my way (I have to 'ok' mine replacing theirs, which gets old fast). I want them to make some kind of sense related to the words of the function (EG: option/shift v for import video).
I really do not like looking to a menu and mousing or tracking to it to select or click. The people who are not teh 'power users' and don't set up key commands are the ones who kvetch how problematic the "workflow" is in there. That isn't much of a *flow*, acknowledged.

I can't know how 'uncommon' I am, but my living has depended on remembering (rather than writing instructions down) better than the competition does because time is money.
