Compared to the other items on the list, these 2 additions seem a bit marginal IMO. [not bad, but....}

Pencil tool.
OK,a really rather crude smoothing as available in PT may seem OK/ a good idea, or yes sure envelope smoothing would be much appreciated (& not only for volume envelopes. And hey if all you know is PT, or you are slave to PT and know nothing else, this is all you have got & it's better than nothing.

But compared to what Adobe Audition or Cedar can do this function is a total F***** joke.

Or this is why some of us want to use a "Wav Editor" in combination with a DAW like Reaper.
Sure this may change as even more DSP power is available for affordable computers.

But for now, & yes this is IMO,it is unreasonable to expect a DAW like Reaper to do stuff like de-click in real-time. And why would one want to?

It's not an effect (poss to be modified, tweaked to artistic needs) it's a needed & permanent improvement to the original audio.

Group Function
Confess I'm not sure how, or not this may be beneficial. But the benefit is not that clear at all.
