"my concern is will the wider user base be happy with the final design ?"

If design is good, there should be nothing to be concerned of.
UI, unneeded complexity and known limitations that require unorthodox "alternatives" (workarounds) - Those are most cited issues. JAOM, if you are that concerned, whole wide internet is your research field. Since BIAB was around for decades, there are plenty of conversations, reviews, observations that are fairly easy to find. Most companies have dedicated open spaces where users can express their concerns or wishes. Those who care enough to speak out, do it through the proper channels. Like we do it here.


My take is this. BIAB has 90%+ of features in place. Program is fast and for the most part stable. They need to go back to fix & complete existing features and invest time in workflow and UI, so those features are discoverable and working with them is a pleasure. So you don't feel like a snake crawling between cinderblocks. Track View it seems the culprit of Daw "features" that some folks are so resistant to. I see Zero issues completing TV the right way, the evil DAW way smile
