Because it would immediately be regarded as an ARRANGER.....with 'deep' editing capabilities smile . And we all know that that's the kiss of death in the WS-oriented 'youth' market. Plus, all the added WS goodies would be the kiss of death in the arranger-oriented elderly market smile . Let's face it, young people want unlimited choices, old folks want simplicity in the form of fewer choices (see how many over 60 folks are waiting in line at the next new iphone introduction). Fran still has a corded phone........with rotary dial smile .

Nope. Never going to happen. Like trying to combine a VW bug with a Lincoln Town Car to make a 'car for the masses'. Different strokes for decidedly different folks.
