time for a rare rant from me mate.
every technical solution has a price and plusses n minuses.
everything/all daws is in constant change and everything is BETA.
hmm..nice sig line "ITS ALL BETA"..lol.

imho PT is not the earth , the moon and the stars.
you can find fault with anything. if you dig deep enough.
various people post on the reaper forums about various pt aspects
that bug em. viz a vis other daw software.
go read the threads .

for example, and i dont know how true now with new versions of PT,..
so you tell me...
but someone told me once how various things bout pt drove em nuts.
i understand the midi aspects at one point (which is why i used powertraks years ago..)
, and you couldnt split out the
left and right of a stereo file to their own files ??
i dont wanna dredge it all up cos its merry xmas etc lol.
but lets be reasonable here .and fair.

musicians need competition like reaper.
cos without much competition look whats happening in the processor arena right now.
for example i would like an i7 , but i cant afford it.
a few vendors of something = high prices.
competition/variety breeds lower prices and thats good for us.
reaper has introduced another competitive option.

monkey its good to defend a castle, but mankind moves on.
maybe you dont like it cos many of us serfs are simply bypassing the castle ??

fyi heres a reaper users comments (whose also used PT..)
which is nice and refreshing ...
a love letter to reaper and the whole community - Cockos Confederated Forums

we are all different mate.

merry xmas.

ps..you tried reap on a mac ?
its a different version to pc.
