I have similar UI-related complains, but a bit with another specificity.
Need say, i enough appreciate Punch, exactly his huge beautiful effects list and modulation\routing abilities and different builtin engines. It's seems really interesting.
But his sequencer workflow, it's.....difficult to explain, why it's simply deadlock, unfortunately, and why rarely use it. It can probably think a lot about this.
With a more elaborate sequencer engine (UI and functional regarding), I think this machine would be much more interesting.
