Detachable / re-attachable windows would be absolutely amazing, and really not that hard to implement. It has been a feature the consumer base has been begging for, yet they still ignore our requests. The lack of comping playlists is also a major failure. It's pathetic that the Ableton team doesn't seem to care absout what the consumer base really wants.
THERE IS NO MORE PROGRAMMING TALENT AT ABLETON, NONE OF THE FEATURES WE ARE REQUESTING HERE WILL COME TO FRUITION TILL AT LEAST VERSION 10...
Gerhard Behles (Abletons CEO) has gone on record saying that he believes the best way to make the program better is to REMOVE features -

That may be true from time to time and I love Abletons simplicity but that's also an excuse to not fill in the gaps. No tab to transients, PDC, Sample accurate arrange waveforms, sub bar audio editing? Some heavy stuff missing.
Look at how advanced Studio One is, how advanced BitWig is. It's because of programmers, Ableton lost theirs to BitWig and it's CEO thinks adding features makes the program worst. We're in for a long and frustrating experience. Our best bet as users is to make the most out of what the old BitWig guys created and become masters of work arounds.
