Premiere Pro CC doesn't create a new sequence with a new project

I feel sure I must be missing something, but when I create a new project in Premiere Pro CC, it doesn't automatically create a new sequence.

In CS6, creating a new project would cause it to pop up a list of sequence presets and then create a new, blank sequence for you.

In CC, once you've created a project, you're left looking at an empty timeline.  You then have to go up to File, New, Sequence, and do it there.

Seems like a strange extra step to include, no?

Is there a setting I haven't found then makes CC create new projects with a sequence as CS6 does?

Yes, as Jim mentions, there are other ways to create a sequence.  For example, just import your footage, and then with one clip selected, choose File > New > Sequence from Clip.  Or in the Project panel, drag a clip to the New Item icon.  Many find it easier to create the sequence that way, rather than reading through all the settings in the New Sequence dialog and trying to figure out which attributes fit the media they are working with.

Since a lot of folks create their sequences based on the media they're editing, it's actually a step saved by not having to hit Cancel when that dialog comes up.

I create sequences based on the media to be edited, too, but I still have to create a sequence.  I don't see how the new 'CC way' saves a step.  Can you elaborate?
