As Robh said (and thanks for the complement Rob) I work all the time in RealBand and PowerTracks, despite having Protools, Reaper, Logic, Cubase and Harrison mixbus at my disposal.

In my experience, the people who think RB has limited functionality haven't spent enough time with it. It will do most of what the major DAWs will do, plus quite a lot of things on top. The mixer, in particular, is amazing. For a start, you don't have to configure it, add tracks, or use a template - it's all there and ready straight out of the box. You've got 48 automated stereo tracks, eight automated effects sends, VST settings recall, eight effects busses which can be routed anywhere and sixteen sub-groups. The whole thing comes with real-time or node based automation.

Add to this the ability to generate or regenerate all or part of a realtrack without leaving the program and it's a winner.

Having said all that, I'm a great believer in people using whatever suits them, but as long as it's not just because they didn't know there was something better.
