I'd consider beat-detection a tool for some specialists and a nice toy
for beginners but time-stretching is really important for many people.
Say you have 5 sessions of the same piece recorded live and in studios,
it is quite sexy to have a good sounding usable tool, that helps you to
weld the best moments of those together. Not every band performs best
when playing by a metronome and different versions could be in different
speed and still compatible.
