Sure - and if they spent three years on it and got this far already, that's actually not much more than some companies use between major updates. But - and there's a big but here... In
this video, the Presonus guy speaks about StudioOne being created by ex-Cubase/Nuendo coders, and mentions that StudioOne has a very high end audio engine, but that the developers wanted to make a DAW that reached the "other" 80% of the people out there that aren't really using Nuendo and "don't need the high end features". This could explain why there seem to be no Beat Detectiving, Elastic Audio, Score, movie support (let alone support for people with film composing needs), Score editor, automatic delay compensation for external gear etc. in there.
The guy shows a some really nice things, though... like being able to make the right (library) list area wider when needed, integrated Waveburner features - and "Bounce on the fly" if you drag in an external song into the arrangement.
Apple would never have previewed new features like that months ahead of a release - not for Logic. But who knows, maybe they watch the video and use some of these ideas in Logic?
I like that Presonus want to focus on innovation and things that nobody has done before - and I'm sure it will become a great DAW; but maybe it just isn't heading towards the 20% that may want what they call "high end features" - which easily could be the typical members of this forum?
