You're right, and frankly, I hate it. It's plain silly to have to spend time teaching production people how to use the new whatever-it-is-whizbang-thing because it's author chose to use a "cool custom GUI" instead of the stylebook standard. It might be boring, but there is a reason why stylebooks exist. One of the main roles of DEs is to enforce those stylebooks. Perhaps the strange UIs have a place in the consumer world, but I like to think that the pro audio people can avoid that. Whew...got that off my chest...sorry for the rant...
