I can't believe that instead of improving their midi and VSTi compatibility, they ditched it instead....major bummer!!
Will have to find another DAW now....

Yes audition 5 is an improvement in speed on previous version. But at least audition 2 and 3 allows the use of essemtial plugins such as Waves Mercury, even when installed on 64 bit windows 7. Adobe also decided to dump the Doppler effect plugin which I used quite often. All in all I intend to stick with Audtion 3
