Being able to highlight an area in one track and then see it in relationship to the others is important. Sure you can change tracks in the AEW but it is still not the same.
Currently, curser movement is the same between the two. Both are single track editors. There's no advantage to seeing the full length curser. It's only a view. Tracks View is a multi track view with single track functionality. The UX mock ups and discussions in these threads all say there still will be a need for a AEW panel for precise track editing.

Regeneration is a single track function regardless how many tracks you see. Curser alignment between tracks is a breeze in both Tracks and AEW and is accurate and precise. Highlighting a region for an edit is maintained between all tracks in the AEW and movement is done by selecting the track name either in the AEW dropdown or using the BIAB Mixer. Highlighting a region for an edit is maintained between all tracks in the Tracks View is exactly the same.

Functionality is the same. The results are the same. What's the vital issue?
