As someone who's used CSuite for 9 years non-stop with a two-monitor setup, alongside DP for 11 years, I'll pick CSs docking system any day. Photoshop/Illustrator... maybe not so much, but Premiere/AE is amazing. I just can't see any advantage the CW has over it. In my eyes, Premiere's docking system is like a CW system that's infinitely more flexible with no shortcomings. ANYTHING I can do in the CW I can do in CSs docking system. MIDI, I just think you're incorrect about this, or maybe you're thinking of Photoshop, which doesn't have the docking system that I'm referring to. Unless for some reason you don't want to have that flexibility, which I can't understand.

One cannot be "incorrect" about one's preferences. They are individual. So actually, you are incorrect about my being "incorrect." If a docking system was implemented I'd surely check it out, but if it was anything like the system used for Adobe products (at least up to CS 5) then no thank you. I'd rather have key commands than having to mouse over to a dock. Again, that's just my preference.

Seriously, there isn't and need not be a right and wrong or winner and looser about this. It's really not worth getting yourself worked up over. Save that for something more worthy... like notation aspects! LOL.
