Kind of disappointing they are wasting development resources on something that non-Cakewalk developers could do. Anyone can make EQ plugins, but only Cakewalk can add features to the piano roll view/core Sonar/make MIDI better.
I don't find it disappointing at all. All DAW's come with a range of stock plugins and tools, some of which are developed by the DAW manufacturer. Abelton, Live and Cubase come with their own plugins too. It stands to reason that they're updated and/or upgraded now and then.
I used to have Producer, it's now called Platinum. These 2 plugs come with Professional and Platinum. I think it's reasonable to expect that Professional and Producer versions of a DAW come with options like these. I'm really happy I don't have to go a buy a third party option for these, and also being that these are getting a little dated, that they are being maintained and enhanced.
I expect all areas to maintained and updated. Just because some areas I'm particularly interested in some areas I feel have been left behind, I certainly not going to begrudge when other areas that I don't use so much are. That feels hypocritical to me.
