Q. Are you one of the thousands of people that are happy with how everything works now ?

Yes.

I often see things discussed here on the forum where a technique is called a work around or deficiency in BIAB because it's done differently in BIAB than in Reaper, Sonar or Studio one DAW's. I interpret the technique to simply be the way it's done in BIAB rather than how the same process is handled in a DAW. I have never viewed BIAB to be a DAW. I see the same issue between Audacity and DAW's. Audacity is an Audio Editor and does not always function exactly like a DAW. That's not a deficiency but a difference. I'm happy with my car even though I know it would sink if I used it as a boat. Same concept in BIAB versus DAW with me.

I'm completely happy with BIAB because I use it to create audio/midi/chords and such and export to DAW or Stand alone Multitrack to do further processing.

I'm one of the thousands of people that are happy with how everything works in BiAB because I view the process of using BIAB to create tracks and the resulting output to be the same as if I hired session musicians to come into my studio and work on my projects. Once the session musicians have completed their workday, been paid and gone, you work with the tracks recorded or rehire them to come back and rerecord if necessary.
