Well, I can't resist this question--even though it's not directed at me:

My Answer: An interface that is usable "eyes-free."

Yes, Sonar/Cakewalk does that, and RG and Ardour do not--though there
was an attempt made (probably misguided) to build an ncurses interface
to Ardour.

Wired gets this--probably unanticipated--by virtue of using TTK+.
Perhaps Ardour may move to GTK+ some day, but I have little hope for RG
as I'm given to understand it is a heavy user of custom widgets.

Just trying to be a gentle nag to remind developers that ATK choices
matter.
