Even a single command for Remove Empty Lanes would speed things up a little.

I think a lot of the problem has to do with the inability to scale the Sonar interface, i.e., Skylight. Most programs when you shrink a window, the graphic in the window gets smaller. In Sonar, when you shrink a window, things get cut off. Skylight is also responsible for the inability to change colors. I hope this changes, but I seriously doubt it will. 

i gotta say, with the exception of not being able to delete all empty lanes with one click, i kinda like take lanes.  i've been using them every day for the past few months & only 1 crash

I would like that.  
 
I delete them manually now, obviously, but a more automated single-click process would be nice.   Particularly for those times where I'm not zoomed out enough horizontally to see that there is in fact a clip on what looks like an empty lane.   Unfortunately I can't blame lane height for that one.

My hope is that someone from the Cakewalk Bakery sees this thread and gets to understand the general consensus around take lanes.

I'm thinking that if they haven't gotten it by now w/ all the threads and posts preceding this one about Take Lanes then unfortunately this one probably won't do it either.   However, I'd definitely like to be wrong on that.

I have no problems with take lanes - not sure what the consensus is other than the fact that those that don't like them tend to whine louder.

Then here's another stat for your consensus.
Can't stand them, won't use them.

I fail to see (other than maybe using all caps in a reply) how anyone can whine "louder" than anyone else in an all-text post?
 
If you meant to infer "more vociferously", or "more frequently", then consider me guilty as charged.
 
At the end of the day, if you're completely happy with SONAR, that's great. I'm really pleased for you.
 
But if I'm not happy (which is the case with Take Lanes) with the product I paid for, then I reserve the right to say so, whenever and wherever, and how often I like.
 
If those remarks appear in this forum, and are deemed to be unacceptable by our hosts, I fully accept their right to edit or remove them.
 
I fail to see why anyone would have the slightest problem with such a modus operandi on my part. I try my best to state my problems "calmly", logically and rationally. I don't consider my posts to be "whining loudly", but if you do, then I respectfully beg to differ.
 
 

I think that is exactly what you usually do, Steve.   Must be the name or something.    
 
However, I think I get where SuperG is coming from too, because this isn't the first time a "consensus" has been stated when in fact there really isn't one.  Or if there is, we have no way of knowing since this forum represents a limited cross-section of the SONAR user base.   
 
I've been on these forums about as long as anyone and have seen this pattern repeated over the years.   Whenever a small group of users have the same view on something, that group becomes "we" and it (whatever it is) will likely be used in many threads.   Right or wrong, it's just the way things tend to happen.  The only incident that stands out to me as being more than just that, was when X1 was first released.   Everything else pales in comparison.        But hey, them's be growing pains, and sometimes you just gotta get thru it.
 

Sorry if I ruffled a feather or two...
 
Right - basically those who have no problems with lanes just aren't likely to start a thread on "Ooooo Gawd! - This take lane feature is so KEWL".... you don't hear from us, nor are we trying to win converts over to a particular view. It doesn't mean we're not out there. It does mean that the non-satisfied will tend to be much more vocal, and such volume needs a dash of salt before consideration.
 
 
Any consensus would need to take that into account - as well as those who have no opinion either way.
