Could be it's written to never ever try to be smarter than its user, or that 
the user really doesn't/shouldn't want to do something the way they want to.

Though from your description, it could use a little more "smarts" or at least 
user customizations to how it does some things. Software written to be 'dumb' 
often has annoying actions built in that the user can't alter (and programmers 
that like to ignore huge numbers of complaints about the annoying things).

Photoshop has one thing I find extremely annoying. Click a layer in the Layers 
palette, do one thing to that layer then Undo. The #$#^$^ing thing switches 
back to the layer that was previously selected instead of staying on the 
currently selected layer. It's like there's a hidden History entry for layer 
selection changes that's tied to the first action done after switching layers. 
It's an assumption made by Adobe that if the user undoes the first action after 
changing layers- the layer change itself was also *always* an error the user 
wants to back out of.

Anything like that in Avid, with no way to change/FIX how it behaves?
