I use only BIAB. About 3 or 4 times a year I try to use RB and end up frustrated. It is not a good DAW for all the reasons already stated by others. I have tried a few times to use the Multi-Riff feature which is brilliant and should be included in BIAB!

What I do is mostly accept what BIAB generates for bass and drums. For solo instruments or more prominent instruments I will generate the song and then freeze it and save it. Then I'll unfreeze, regenerate and save again to get a new set of tracks. Once I am done I can bring all the various tracks into my DAW and use the sections I want to comp complete tracks. If BIAB had multi-riff I would love that because it would reduce this effort.

I am always kinda put off by folks who claim RB is free therefore it is a good deal for new users. Well, first off, it is NOT free; I had to buy BIAB to get it! And second, Windows Paint is also "free" but if I want to do any serious graphic work I'd never even open it opting instead for something far more modern and powerful. And finally, I always recommend new users NOT use RB because it is so frustrating and slow and quirky! The last thing I want to do is put a newbie on a path where they are more likely to get frustrated. Instead, they should grab the full-featured Reaper demo for free or the new Cakewalk that is truly free!
