It takes a bit of customizing and you need to get a decent theme (as in my opinion the default themes aren't great looking) but the amount of features I've discovered it has over Reason (I'm talking 100 seriously and it's 6yrs younger than Reason and not up to version 7 yet.) Been using Reaper now about a couple of months (although had it 6 months before that) and hardly feel like opening Reason now.
