Hmm, I understand your point. Still, I like to keep tracks visible
and make it clear that they are individual files. Users can do
punch-in/outs whatever to them. If you do all song production steps
yourself (composing, recording, mixing, etc), this works IMHO better.
I admit that for traditional recording purposes (recording live
takes, etc), it would be better to write a new user-interface.

Well, as I've said before, I don't like to edit tracks in this way
after recording. I prefer recording a "pool of source material" and
then during mixing, I compile the final mix from them.
But I guess this is a good time to stop. Otherwise we'll soon have
a recording technique flame-war in our hands. ;)
