This way, it could keep its unique strengths while improving the user experience for a wider audience.

Here are some specific suggestions:
+ Panels instead of dialogue boxes.
+ Consistency in actions, mouse behaviors for navigating, cursors, navigations, and hotkeys across the entire application.
+ Drag and drop functionality wherever it makes sense.
+ Context menus that are specific to the next steps and various scenarios, such as timeline markings, timeline chords, generation regions, track header, track name, FX, routing, and the MP library being 100% in context to where you opened it (current track, type, instrument, genre, tempo, feel, etc.).
+ A UI that is OS-aware, recognizing light/dark preferences, DPI scaling, and providing crisp, sharp fonts at any resolution (less reliance on outdated graphics).
+Rock-solid performance, ensuring high quality and reliability in all functions.
+ Seamless integration with associated applications, including drag and drop and common file interchange.

Thank you for considering this feedback.

There are so many great ideas here and in so many other posts of other users, I remember posting so many of them from years n years n years ago. When these were said way back you were thought of as being crazy. Why are they doable now and weren't doable way back ? Maybe PG have decided to do a total crossplatform re-write after all ? in that case Hallelujah !
