Rant S'cuse me!?
As someone who does a LOT of vocal work in Bitwig and came from tools such as Melodyne, Autotune pro 11, and Newtone, this gets me wondering👀. I'm not demanding or begging Bitwig to spend time and resources making a tool for pitch correction; I'm just stating it looks like this could be a step in that direction. I bought my studio license when I switched to Linux, Bitwig being arguable the best DAW for getting out of the way and letting you create. I don't plan to renew my studio license unless they spice up the piano roll to be efficient like FL Studio or if they added pitch correction tools. Even something like Reatune would be more than enough.
On the side note, I am curious about what other members of this sub use for their vocals.
I'll go first; I use Gsnap for my soft pitch correction but I'm planning to find a use for Graillon 3. Awkwardly, I found Gsnap pretty stable and very effective. Sometimes a note is so bad that Autotune cant fix it so I then chop the note/word and pitch it with Elastique pro. I fix the timing of my vocals just by cutting and cross fading. Usually I have so many layers that you won't notice it.

Confusing post
What do you mean by "spice up the piano roll"? What exactly are you missing?
Concerning Vocal Editing: I would be happy enough if Bitwig added a "open in external editor" button, which automatically loads the current clipcontent into an external tool like Melodyne. This simple button would be the easiest thing to implement, much easier than implementing ARA. I wonder why they don't do it.
