* I want it to be MUCH easier to insert bars into the middle of a piece. Even Selecting All and then carefully choosing to slide over everything when inserting time/measures does not get everything, because a second operation is required to also slide over bus envelopes. Why???? And why are there four Insert operations listed in the Project menu, when there's a perfectly good INSERT menu they would more logically be in?
* Why are Sonar's color palette selections so limiting? When I want black I don't want dark gray. When I want Yellow I don't want a dusty version of yellow.
* And don't get me started on take lanes

Apparently you aren't the only one...Cakewalk is working on ripple editing and comping/take lane management to take care of requests (1) and (3). As to (2) the expanded color picker from the last update is helpful, but also check out my "Friday's Tip of the Week" for Week #53 - How to Get *Really* Vibrant Track/Console Colors. It may not be exactly what you want, but based on what you're saying it sounds like it sure comes a lot closer.
