Hello Mariano,
I don't think that the "veterans"hate new
features,but agreed, the most user of the DAW Cakewalk and the members of this forum are or are etting old (me too).
If you visit the forum /community of other DAW's you will find them in a compareable situation,the days of the classic DAW's seem to slowly pass away.
That's why Bandlab is on a good way to try to embed the Bandlab samples ,community-features aso into Cakewalk to encourage younger people to use Cakewalk.
Just my 2 cents.
