I use BIAB first because I find song creation in any sequencer cumbersome. Besides, all kinds of cool things happen when you make "mistakes" that you would never think of or come across any other way. I have come to consider BIAB a co-composer at times. Why sidestep the wonderful possibilities?

Then immediately edited to add: If you already know exactly what you want to do, got to RB or another sequencer first. BIAB becomes a distraction in that case because it so rarely comes up with anything remotely close to what you hear in your head. I just happen to have abandoned that approach because I often let my synths and software tell me where to go.
