I suppose it's just ignorance. I own x1 pro, studio one v2, and ableton live. I use Reaper almost exclusively because it does what I want and doesn't get in the way.

x1 pro - hated it... I bought it for matrix view hoping to rid myself of ableton dependency. It's a complete hog... bloated, slow and buggy as hell.

studio one v2 - it's ok, but it's not as customizable as I'd wish. I dislike their take system. But their fx channel is a cool feature. I use it only for mastering now.

Ableton - horrible for mixing, but the session view is just so cool. I love it for creating and exploring new ideas.

When all is said and done I spend >90% of my time with Reaper. It just works and is customizable so I can do anything I need to do. It's lightweight, has built in bit-bridge support, auto mute, auto save, rewire (for the few times I use Reason), reroute, skins, and anything can be mapped to a hotkey.

The one thing I wish it had is session/matrix view.

One day... and my life will be complete.
