By 'monitoring' here I mean the main studio monitors.
You should be able to listen to various things (including
monitor sends for musicians), and switch between them
easily and without interrupting the normal program flow.
Setting this up in a convenient way is currently near
impossible in Ardour. And if you emulate it using a lot
of extra strips etc. there is no visual hint of a 'safe'
area where whatever you do will never hurt the 'main'
outputs, and so you end up having to think twice before
pushing any button.
Have a look at what is provided in this area by some
'real' mixers, and ask the people who use them why
these things are what they are, and rather essential.

What Ardour is lacking is sort of
'monitoring' window,
a place where you can select in a convenient way what
you hear, and how.
hear where? master outs? a listen bus? control outs bus? some other
bus(ses)? direct outs? there's no simple definition of "what you
hear". there might be N listeners at one time. whose monitoring is
being affected?
