Arny, I was about to agree with you 100% until I went to
Amazon.com and read the (two) customer reviews for myself.
Granted, two sample points are not that overwhelming, but then
AA2 hasn't been out that long, and Amazon isn't a primary
source of user discussion about higher-end audio products.

However, I must say that I am concerned about what I read in
those reviews. I have been using CE2K and CEP since long
before they sold out to Adobe and CEP/AA is my primary audio
mixing/processing tool on several computers.
The kinds of things they are complaining about are the very things that
bug me significantly about other Adobe products which I use regularly
(Premiere, Encore and Photoshop). There seems to be a continuing
influence of a non-MSwin UI scheme (Mac perhaps? :-) which makes Adobe
products more awkward, less intuitive to use compared to other more
conventional MSwin applications. Part of my day job is
designing User Interfaces, so I may be a bit more sensitive
to this than others?

I looked at using AA2.0 a couple of weeks ago... My needs were very basic
(more basic than the OP even) and I could tell just from the screenshots on
the Adobe website that it was going to be more of a headache than a help. I
decided to download the demo anyways to give it a fair shot and it wouldn't
even install on W2K. I'm really happy with CEP.
