We all have our preferences for 'logical' workflow.
Reaper (and Traktion) seem unintuitive to me, whereas RB, PT and Roland software always seems intuitive. I can figure the others out, but I'm spending time figuring them out.

Take a look at what you have first (read free or already purchased) then decide if another DAW is even needed.
I've watched close friends go the 'newest/greatest' route and never produce a song. They spent too much time trying to figure it all out.

At the same time I've seen people get PT for $50 and produce CD's that sold. Use whatever will help you get 'er done.

Of course many great CD's are done on the 'latest/greatest' software but you need to know how to use those tools. It can be distracting to chase software when you really just need to buckle down and get the knowledge/experience of how each one works .. starting with what you already have.
