OK, I'll bite.

Tell me the name of the other NLEs what have such an editing interface via front end data management database access windows right up front in the editing interface.

I'd like to take a look at them.

I guess you could argue that Legacy had that, but we're not talking about simple search here - we're talking about a visible front end that encourages the editor to constantly work with and revise the metadata of every part of the workflow - positioned such that the editor is encouraged to interact with the data in the same way they interact with the visual content.

Legacy did NOT do that.

If other popular editors did that, I'm unaware of it - but I'm willing to be corrected.

Examples please?
