I find it a bit obscure when grown up people argue about something that they have never seen or tried before.

Most of nonsense of this post relates to initial question #5:

"Is there a good reason why chords can not be entered straight from midi controller, is there a way to bypass "CTRl+Enter" when entering them from controller"

It was answered in depth. However, when I brought Scaler VST to attention, arguing that it is far more advanced and user friendly tool to explore progressions, etc. than "chord builder" of BIAB, post was met with something completely different than "support", "interest" or even "weighted opinion" by couple of veteran members.

How can you judge of experience that you never had? Beats me.
