Bob,
I can understand that people get used to certain methods, I do. I just don't agree with the "clunky" part about MTP. You have to spend some time with it to realize that it has a much smoother & faster workflow getting from A>B than previous methods.

"I believe that the answer for both camps is to leave BiaB as a backing track generator"
In a way I agree. With exception that existing features that are still a bit raw should be finished and known issues addressed.
