Lots of other reviews puts Reaper up there. Some also rate ProTools.

Each to their own.

I was using Reaper and was really happy with it until I received a free copy of Studio One Artist with a Blackstar guitar amp I purchased, I liked it so much I upgrade to Studio One Pro and now use it pretty much exclusively, I still like Reaper and occasionally use it, especially when I need to test a plugin that is bombing out in Studio One, to confirm it's the plugin and not the DAW.
