Actually, having thought about it there's one common denominator that this forum has revealed that *no* DAW has/does:

User-definable GUI.

Everything an object; everything assignable to a "tool": button, fader, envelope. Everything skinable. Make the GUI start out as a blank window, you add (via a wizard) the tools you need, where you need them, the size and location you want.

I would presume everything in the menus and preferences manifest themselves as C++ objects; there should be a way to make something sort of like a "lite and easy" Visual Basic sort of deal, where you drag/drop tools.

You could make custom GUI's for tracking, overdubbing, etc... Given the way some new software is modular - Kore, etc., I might extrapolate Justin may have thought of how that approach would apply to a DAW.

..at the same time I could also envision something like a hyper unwieldy version of Traktion, but...
