After the Mixify experience of not having any cue support for mixing into the stream, actually I felt liberated. It also added a certain element of surprise concerning how the final mixes sound like.
Do you know of any DJs that deliberately don't cue tracks? I think this is a very wide area to explore and somehow I think the audience wants to be surprised instead of hearing one perfect transition after another?
PS: Concerning Traktor and spectrum waveform display, you get enough info to figure out how the track will sound like so that helps a lot in these kinds of non-cue mixing situations. As for not using cue for techno and tech house, that's a no-brainer.
