We are the music makers - producers?

Why can't you destructively edit regions by rendering effects or EQ? In pro-tools you can fix a plosive by highlighting the pop, applying an eq and rendering it. In Logic you have to work around cutting and pasting and messing about with other tracks or re-routing outputs and recording new sections. Faff.

Logic X has an Audio File Editor that destructively edits the audio region source file, which is good for removing pops and stuff (in fact I think it automatically detects transients when you open it). Though I don't think you can render an effect plugin to the audio in that editor.
