Since you haven't looked at it more than a "glance", and therefore don't
know anything to be able to say anything either, I wonder what your agenda
is. But it seems like your agenda is to defend Ardour, no matter what.
In case that is true, why?

Oh, and you are completely wrong, by the way. Traverso's interface is not
about simplicity and intuitivity, you had known that if you had tried
traverso. (and especially protux, its predecessor).

And yes, I must admit I have a small agenda too, against Ardour. I don't
think ardour's user interface is very efficient [1]. Ardour is great, but
it would have been even greater if all the developers on ardour spent all
of their time exclusively working on making ardour's user interface more
efficient to use. Traverso is an excellent program to look at to improve
the situation.
