It seems like long standing issues are the hardest ones for the developers to sort out. 




if they're embedded deep down in old code then to make any changes could have a big impact throughout the app

that would be a GOOD thing.  

I believe they are running off of VERY old code.. even the way the app feels.  It feels so clunky and module based compared to say Studio One or FL Studio.  Try installing one of those.  It just runs so smooth, like its built on a new platform or something.

Having said that, someone from Cakewalk said they are working on improving the GUI.

FWIW I don't believe that.
 
From what I read the codebase was substantially re-written for the launch of the X series.

Let's not delve too deep into speculation. We can observe changes to the program and the way Cake conducts their business. Past that it's just opinion and speculation. There are so many real issues in the world today that I put Sonar development way down my personal priority list. I just want it to let me do my work.

I want it to let me do my work, but why not have a smooth workflow and things that work right?  being complacent does not bring change.

Cakewalk provides updates and bug fixes every month. I think most people consider that as bringing change..

So it seems based on what you said that you consider changes as representing something other than complacency only if they're the changes you want prioritized. The comping people wanted their changes prioritized, and they got it. The ripple editing people want their changes prioritized, the people who want to try out the Mac alpha want their changes prioritized, etc. The MIDI fans will get their turn too...sooner than you might think.
