I use the console view for almost everything while tracking, rough mixing, inserting and adjusting plugins, and setting up aux sends, I use the track view when doing automation, editing, and fine tuning track settings.
I really like that both views are there, so I have the freedom to choose how I want to work, even discussing the removal of ANY feature that makes Sonar my favorite audio recording software pisses me off!
If you want to work exclusively in the track view, that's YOUR choice, why the hell would you want to take away MY ability to choose for myself???
I wish the console view was configurable, I would love to be able to..
1) choose a slightly smaller size for thr playback track modules, and/or the mains,while leaving the aux sends alone.
2) eliminate the wasted space between the aux sends and the phase/stereo-mono switches in the track modules, I normally run 4 auxes, and there is enough room to make the channel modules shorter without taking away anything, all this so you can...
3) be able to "stack" the modules, so you could set it up with a whole 24 tracks, stacked in two banks of 12, then the aux sends block and then 4 mains stacked in two banks of 2. it would all fit on a single screen at 1024x768 including 2 rows of toolbars, and the status bar on the bottom.
wishful thinking on my part...
