I'm not sure embryo fits within the pantheon of terms in the classification for bakers of cakes. But then we are not the bakers either, are we? Now I'm all confused...

Don't be confused - I just control that by naming each playlist - embryos, inprogress, mixing, mastering, publisher registered song etc. So many playlists cover the needs - everything needed is there to easily find what you want to work on.
 
But if separate columns for custom categories, I don't mind that either.
 
We all use whatever naming for a group of projects that is relevant for the purpose.

Open Sonar, go to file , open the project I want. Why would there need to be 2 ways to do this and distractions from your work? Does everything have to become facebook? 

I was only foolin around....

I am scattered over disk with Sonar 4, 8, X3 and 2015 stuff.
 
So really cool to get projects in different states and different places accessed in one place.
Get project grouped according to an idea you have etc.
 
Open file dialogs too often open in the last spot something was stored, like vst presets in some place. Then next open start there. Unless carefully managed by software you run, windows takes care of this caching.

What I'd like from a start screen (while accepting that showing all of this would be hard to do in a simple UI):
 - Recent project, ordered by how recently I edited them
 - the full path to the project
 - When I last edited them
 - tempo, key, and meter information
 - when I created them (if this information is available)
 - how long the project is (the end time of the last clip is sufficient)
 - how many tracks are in the project
 - how many clips are in the project (midi and audio counted separately)
 - a list of track names in the project
 - a list of synths in the project, with presets in use if that information is available
 
Plus 'Tip of the Day' (below the recent files), and any links to special offers on Cakewalk software or that of affiliates.

and a donut.

How a new start page took precedence over nested folders is beyond me.
 
Maybe they hired a (new) junior programmer?

Personally, I'd like to see it removed completely. Start up and splash screens get in the way and get turned off asap here.

Here too!

Yep - totally useless to me. I create a starter file and launch from there. I would never start from the Sonar icon.

I think it might have to do with how much work is involved to implement a new feature.
I looked at top five of voted and they are all pretty much of a workload.
 
A couple of notation fixes, arranger tracks, save colors with templates and then comes nested folders...as I recall. No quick fixes any of these...
 
Nested folders, well that is pretty heavy, pdc have to be calculated in quite new ways. We don't want pdc screwed up, I guess.
 
And they don't reveal stuff that are months away, would probably be a bad idea us tapping our fingers till then.
