It's not even that good in Pro Tools. I'm only allowed to have one
plugin window open at a time, so I cannot see what's going on in the
compressor plugin when I'm trying to do real-time automation recording
in the EQ.

I don't know what you guys are doing with plugin display in Ardour so
maybe you can see multiple plugins at the same time? I cannot, so a
Channel Strip under Pro Tools means I can watch the automation of one
control while writing the automation of another control. I can make my
moves on EQ automation while watching compressor threshold playback
automation.
