I’m going to introduce a controversial note - C6 lanes are great! Get into them!
It would be unfair of me to say that I don’t know what all the fuss is about, though, as I suffered a great deal when going from C5 to 6. The trouble is that the ways of working are so different that anything comped in C5 is going to go haywire in C6 and give you a bad impression of how comping now works.
Give it a proper chance. Take a C5 project, reconstruct the uncomped audio and spend an afternoon with the tutorials. What used to take me hours now takes minutes.
This works just as well for MIDI, which you can run with all lanes playing at once or one at a time, as for audio (you need to mute the events first with the X tool).

There is quite a bit to re-learn but all well within the capabilities of anyone who’s managed to learn Cubase in the first place. No excuses, ignore the complaints, you won’t regret it.
