I like that idea too and was used to it in PT3.
It seems overall that since you decided to develop a new product almost from scratch (which offers great new functionality where it does) you are omitting many little details, that are even impossible to list but made PT3 much better than HM, and made it impossible for me to transfer to HM when i thought i wanted to.
This is one of these little features that you don't even notice until it's missing.
I think you might be undervaluing that people like what is familiar to them, and making a completely new interface with all these changes might not be much appreciated by your existing user base. It's just like making people switch from Windows to Linux. Although Linux is obviously the better system (in many ways), the change in interface, and "system logic" just makes it impossible and not worthwhile to many

PS. I think if you posted my comment as a poll, it might turn out that more people think that way. And they might also think that: yeah, they will HAVE to get used to PT4 b/c of the many great new features", but are you aiming at "HAVE TO get used to it" with your existing customers?
