Adding to this, some things do seem to be made for the approval of students: the GUI. And I shall say no more without my lawyer present… 
By “Integration”, do you mean the Splice search feature Studio One has? If so, that’s a nice feature, but isn’t that search feature a missing feature in the Splice plugin instead of a missing feature in a DAW? In other words, Splice could improve the search in their plugin so it would work in all DAWs.
The biggest irony of all that is people are required to communicate their intent better when the Cubase people can’t be asked to make proper release notes with the excuse that “people don’t read those anyways so they’re not necessary” and their apparent lack of proper communications with their user base in a way that only make inflamed threads like this one increase in number and frequency. But who knows? Maybe that’s their way of increasing forum traffic?
You’re missing the point 
Where did you see that?
The fact that this topic (as many others) sparked all this conversation it will only help Steinberg maybe understand that needs to become less conservative and open up to new challenges and new type of clients. Claiming that Cubase knows it’s customers better than each of us, it is true but the market today is not the same as it was 10-15 years ago. Thinking only based on it’s existing customers will end up becoming less and less attractive to new ones. Cubase is s great DAW that needs to expand to survive the competition. The new additions in version 14 and 15, were a good start but in my opinion not enough for the ever growing market of electronic music producers. That is my 2 cents anyway.
I vote “no” for clip launcher and Splice.
What else ya got?
I’ll vote yes for proper, yellow high res Vu mechanical-style meters on each channel like on the new $195,000 SSL Oracle 
Yep mine is also a NO… I’d rather Steinberg don’t waste their resources on this.
I vote for proper inter-operation between Cubase and Dorico.
This ^ 
+100 for the clip launcher!
Cubase already has modulators & pattern editors, so that’s the only thing that is missing for me to move to Cubase as my main DAW (+ Reason as a plugin).
Meanwhile S1 is super competitively priced - the below gives you normal perpetual license with 12 months of free updates & then it stays your “forever” at whatever version it was at that moment. Then you can upgrade at your leisure:
Isn’t that essentially the same as Steinberg/Cubase?
Exactly what Steinberg is doing, except you get free updates until a new major version is released. You can use the previous versions as long as you want, no one is forcing you to update.
Yes, but Cubase Pro license doesn’t cost $95
My point is the initial license for S1 is much cheaper.
The rest was just clarification of how it works after the purchase and after initial 12 months passes - just in case
Yes, but… Studio One Pro… is not Cubase.
And what is your point in promoting it in a Cubase Forum?
It’s not even close.
The idea of a clip launcher intrigues me because I usually only write riff ideas and rarely write linearly full productions, there is so much more that would be need to make Cubase a live performance DAW.
Better idea IMO would be updating the engine for gapless audio, which would benefit all user types.
Other than that, more bug fixes and working on existing features.
The most important feature missing in cubase is a feature that reaper have. It can oversampling plugins. Eg running the plugin as higher sampling rate than the DAW and with proper SRC-filter. With this you can get rid off or at least reduce aliasing artefacts created by many plugins. (Steinbergs own are pretty bad). It is important because it has impact on the audio quality of work done with Steinbergs products and you get better quality of YOUR work if it is done with a competitor DAW.
