When I'm doing things like editing a vocal track and I need to cut out whenever the singing is not singing, it is WAY faster to edit the clip than it is to draw clip gain. I have a custom key command to split the clip, then I move the edge of the clip then fade. Doing the same thing with clip gain would take more steps and much more time.
There are other times when I would want to gate a snare, but perhaps it just can't be set up correctly to not open when for example there is too much kick bleed. Even though it is very time consuming, sometimes the most transparent and best sounding way of gating is to do it manually. Again, it is way faster to edit using the clips than it is with the clip gain in my experience.
Another example of where this would be useful is when comping vocals. I've had to do things, like comping one word or even one syllable into a lead vocal. Having free custom shapes would allow me to be much more precise and create incredibly transparent comp. As it stands I can play with the different settings and move the fade around until it's as good as it gets, but it would be much better if I had more control.
