We can now take the space to make that message very clearly, on every track, with full words. Experienced Reaper users will likely find they don't need this level of clarity, they can effortlessly interpret (for example) an icon based representation, but we favour a solution that benefits all users including casual, occasional or new Reaper users. If this is ever in conflict with efforts to make the interface attractive, the lack of ambiguity is favoured.

Disagree fully with Tie and some users here.
Reason: this is no reason, since normal newbies are well accustomed to reading tooltips when they hover a button (all the text and functions can be displayed there).
I disagree with every attempt which does not save space, since there is no need to have big empty spaces when you work. It only looks better.
