I never used Console View. Then I discovered the magic "D" shortcut so I could go instantly between track view and console view. For me recording is tracking - editing - mixing. I use track view for the first two, and mostly console view for mixing (with the D option so I can scurry back to track view for a quick edit if needed).

I rarely use Console View, preferring Track View like yourself. Additionally, although I've tried to warm up to the Pro Channel, I've never been able to. I dislike the small GUIs and the inability to move the modules around the screen independently. Call me old fashioned, but I still much prefer VSTs in the FX bin... er, rack.

Same here!

Sometime back around Sonar 7 I had an intransigent problem with automation. If I so much as touched a fader in the console view the track would get automated and I could never turn it off or modify the automation. I struggled with it for weeks and then I took a pledge to use only the track view to adjust levels, no matter how minute the adjustment. I never turned off the console, I just stopped using it.
 
But now I've learned about busses and sends and stuff, I do use the console. And I've noticed that the old automation bug no longer exists. Plus I like to watch the lights. But I'd say I use the track view about 85% for mixing and tracking.

Use track view and console view about 50/50. I'd be lost without console view.

There are a number of things that can be done with fewer clicks from console view.
 
For example, reviewing and tweaking multiple Pro Channel Strips at once.

I use one monitor for track view, and one for console/multidock view.

Almost always use the track view with inspector/Pro Channel, very seldom use the console view.

Same here. Use them both continuously. As I get into mixing, it starts to get more console oriented, though. Sometimes I span the console view across both monitors during mix. I like being able to get an at-a-glance overview of so many mix parameters.

I love the console view for volume and pan adjustments. I like to use the effects bins in the cv otherwise it's the track view and sometimes piano roll view.

I'd heard that some weren't using console view at all, so I gave it a go. I only have an Alphatrack so no multi fader console type Control Surface. I just couldn't bend my brain around it so am back to using the console/track view about 50/50.
