Before I answer, I would like to apologize to any who might feel different. This is only my opinion.
I tried investing time in RB several times in the past 5 years. Especially gave it a good shot when Cakewalk went belly up as I was trying to find a single DAW that I could do most that I want and the way that I want. What can I say.... To me, RB is ages behind every single DAW on the market in almost every single aspect except for working with proprietary content. From GUI to workflow. Especially given known inconsistencies and limitation of transferring PGmusic projects between the two. To me RB is a big NO NO. Is it a "tool" - yes it is. So is manual hand driven drill. Is it a tool of choice? Absolutely not. I sincerely hope that certain features of RB are transferred to BIAB that "people can't live without" and RB would just be kept as a working legacy product, focusing on BIAB, Plugin and content.

Having said this, enjoy essays of die-hard fans that will follow smile
