I think so too, sincerely.
Like many of us, I had to customize REAPER's user interface in the beginning, which involved a lot of forum searching and a good deal of tinkering.
But as a result, I got a DAW tailored for my workflows.
In a way, the learning stage one goes through with a new DAW was, with REAPER, more of a customization stage for me. Whereas with other DAWs I had to adapt to the DAW, in case of REAPER it was the DAW that ended up being adapted to me, to surprising extent.
The experience made me realize that since we can customize our physical studio spaces, instruments and computers, the same should ideally apply to DAWs - and beyond that, software in general.
So I'd also encourage the original poster to boldly tinker with themes and other things
Themes are easy to backup and restore, and for general customization, portable install allows backups of entire app setups - so it's always easy to go back to last working version.
