I've been a die hard PT user since its inception (with some audio vision thrown in).

When you have found a workflow in Nuendo its very hard and annoying to go back to PT.

My personal fav's have been mentioned already, but here are my reasons:
# Auditioning tool (play/scrub). With this you can listen to ANY clip (muted or not) so you can have a quick listen to an alternative or the guide without unmuting/solo or anything. Just click on it. Saves me a lot of time.
# Clip Level and clip level drawing. SO much faster to just scroll the wheel on the mouse to raise lower the level of the clip compared to switching to level automation selecting the clip snd usig the trimmer to change the clip level on PT. AND this level is totally independent from the fader level automation, you can get pretty close without ever touching the faders, this leaves me the faders free for true fader automation for finishing up or going into the main mix room to do a proper dia mix.
# Clip history for undoing "audio suite" type effects processing. I never need to have a dup. on another track.
# Keycommands and macros. This is a huge workflow addiction!
Setting the keycomands up YOUR way is fast (when you learn it and dont change it any more, developing the layout and setup does take some time and effort addmitedly). With Macros you can build advanced functionality that originally wasnt in the program... Or just setup some basic fast handy help doing things like crop range (cmdT in PT); extend in/out points 4 frames; Fade in/out 4 frames. You can also set up combined automation modes that you often chage between.
# The Pool where you can organize stuff in folders mind you...
This makes it a hell of a lot easier to find stuff when you have your location sound in one folder (or several depending on work style) and ADR in one and temp mixes in another etc.

Gotta run, kids have to go to school...

# Export audio, for fast deliveries of temp mixes to SFX/music etc while working as this only takes a fraction of real time.
