It would be great to have the option to press play so the track starts snapped to the beatgrid, instead of pressing play, adjusting the nudge, and then pressing a cue button.
If you use a controller you can do it like this: 1) begin paused 2) hold the pad for the cue point you want to start your track from, track is playing now 3) press Play/Pause button, track will continue playing if you let go from the pad now.

The same goes for manual loop: the loop in button snapped to beatgrid, and also the loop out button. This is different from autoloop, because in autoloop you need to know the legnth of the loop in advance (the number of beats), but in manual loop you can create it on the fly as you listen to the music.
The manual loop is like the name says completely manual. I think a lot of people like this freedom and also that you do not have to deactivate quantize to use it. Also changing the loop out point gradually while the loop is playing is a transition technique, since you can manage large bpm jumps with that. So, ,from my point of view, I would not change the manual loops.
