Editing in PT is also very fast, but as said I first and foremost need good mix window so i have not trialed many systems to their fullest.
To each their own.

I understand. The question of habits is important. Having said that, after a while, I find that Studio One's mixer is doing very well. I really like not seeing the BUS (AUX in PT terminology) in the editor, but just the tracks. And his way of creating buses, groups, effects. Its solo safe functions too, as in Cubase, and the solos attached to active tracks (solos are the weaknesses of PT: for example you watch the tutorials in Puremix: all the masters are always with click with their mouse, and I got long complained here about having to do "Shift-S" 800 times a day).
S1's mixer is the closest to PT, even if the visibility of the inserts is less good. But the reason for my change is elsewhere initially. ARA2 and Softube Console 1 (and AVID's pricing policy: I don't pay upfront for upcoming features about which we don't know anything). After, by dint of using S1, it is the discovery of many great functions (like the notepad: a parallel space of editing modifications). But we remain attached to PT as to his first loves, of course ... which explains my presence here. Ha, if Avid wasn't ... Avid!
