I'm going to throw in my vote on really really disliking knobs! I
also don't like controls that don't look like what they do.
I like the idea of a pop-up slider.
Basically I like text fields with a control attached. Maybe a text
field with a little arrow in the corner that indicates clicking will
give you a drop down slider control.
For the question of circular values, how about a text field for display
and an "accelerating" stepper for control.
I really like having all of the controls having enabled-editable text
fields for when I know what value I want to put in.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned very much is that meters with
pretty colors take up a ton of space. A bunch of the interfaces I see
use knobs to save space and then litter the screen with giant meters.
I can see why people want to use them but a small control that achieved
these goals would be really nice.
