One of the biggest advances they could make in the user interface would be to make it 100% Spaces Aware. If it would save windows in the spaces to which they've been assigned, and not have windows reverting back to the main space, and allow windows to actually OPEN to the last space they were assigned, then DP would instantly gain the advantage of having nearly unlimited monitor-screen space in which to work. Even with the trouble it causes -- and DP6 is worse than was DP5.13 -- I still use Spaces as a productivity enhancer. Sometimes I wonder if its worth it. I'll open a plugin from the mixing board (Space 2) and it will open in the primary space (Space 4) I'll visit my VIs in Space 3, and the Consolidated Window will inexplicably follow, leaving behind its shell in Space 4, forcing me to go back to Space 3 to get it and drag it home. I'll click on a track in the track selector of my MIDI Edit Window (full-screen in Space 1), and it will jump back to Space 4, then return to Space 1, leaving me wondering what just happened.
So, if those kinds of anomalies could be corrected, DP would be wonderful in Spaces, and one could literally leave open every single window in the app, if they wanted to. I've wondered if this might slow down the graphics card? So far it doesn't seem to. Not sure about that, though. Maybe Apple only applies CPU energies toward spaces that are currently visible. I do not know.
Anyway, that would be a nice thing to have.
Another thing would be to give us back some of those buttons we'd grown to depend on over the years: the ones in the title bar of windows, etc. There is some disconnect between the help files and what is really there, in that regard.
Also, I'm having trouble in plugin automation. It's been years since I've needed to automate a plugin, so I may be missing something, but I can't make it happen. I setup the plugin automation to include the parameters I' trying to automate. I even can draw in the automation, but the line remains dotted, never solid. And... it never works. I've tried it in Waves plugins and in Altiverb. Nothing. I'm going to ask around and read the manual and see if I'm missing something, but I fear there may be something wrong.
Honestly, I don't see your being able to ask all these questions to that poor rep, and I don't see you getting any responses other than what we typically hear on the phone: "Haven't heard of THAT before!"
Good luck, and thanks for asking for input.

Check, check, checkaroo... I'm definitely not getting automation in my AU plugins so far.
