I work with duplicated smart objects so I can work directly within the RAW file for every step. I do that via actions, but actions don't reach CR and so I have to click menu, "load settings", the setting, enter, enter for every smart object.
Thus, I could very much use something like macros, extra buttons that I can run in CR like in PS, that would speed up my workflow tremendously. Even more so integrating CR into PS instead of running it as a plugin.
Having to load presets hundreds of times every day (up to 10 per image) is not very user friendly.
If at least there were a keyboard shortcut for "load preset". Not a huge deal, but it adds up!
