Because the cleaner the surface the better the workflow (and probably less CPU usage). Every example you posted is a mess, I couldn’t work that way. There’s already an easy access to all the informations you need regarding to effects, waveforms, automation and so on. This topic is similar to this thread. Yes, it’s 2022, but that doesn’t mean that trackers need to look chaotic or need to have a piano roll or whatever. I like Renoise the way it is and that’s the only reason why I’m using it. If I wouldn’t like it that way I would use something else instead. There’s a free choice of what to use, so choose wisely.
