James (bokchoyboy), Not ignoring your question about console view: I just don't use it so I'm leaving that one for the guys who know. I mis in track view.
 
I use a hardware console that can be flipped from track to bus view.  Also, I collapse folders if I don't want to see all the tracks.  I especially don't want to see MIDI tracks when mixing.
 
Best of luck with your projects.

Thanks  all  for your time, expertise, and clarification... so many different options I hadn't considered.

Sure would like to see Console view folders!!!  Maybe in a future update (though there have been more than a few requests in other threads, so the Bakers surely have more pressing priorities)...
 
Thanks again!

I'd like to see console folders too. being able to save and insert a Drums track, with a Bus and a Parelell Bus, and have all of them together rather than the buses altogether. Then hid the tracks within the folder when you are happy with their balance, leaving just the buses and a couple of key tracks
