I think Ableton a long time ago took the Apple approach to development, there are no teams of people who came up with the iPhone, it was Jobs and suggestions from the developers and designers. For better or worse Ableton take the same approach, build the DAW they would use, not what a research department tells them people want.Yeah, less clunky, but more icons and "stuff". What I really wish for all the DAWs is greater customization. Trying to be all things to all people is great, but being able to hide stuff you never use would likely benefit all of us.
Long way of saying after using Live for 20 years it's pretty obvious they do things the way they want to do them. It took 15 odd years for them to give us a shortcut for full screen editing.
If you want a fully customizable DAW that would be Reaper, but you're starting from ground zero there, a truly cluttered mess of an interface with the default settings.
