For midi/sample based production:

Almost every DAW has their own Sampler/Drum Player that integrates very well with the program. Like Ableton Simpler/Drum Rack, Studio One Sample One/Impact etc
So one can chop an audio on edit window and send it to sampler or drum player with right click menu.

Protools needs these for sample based production. If not, at least the ability to drag/drop audio from playlist/soundbase to 3rd party plugins like Battery etc.So one can use at least those.
