They have me trained like that dog of Pavlov's! Every time I hear of new RealTracks I start salivating!
I'll "bark" my agreement with you.
At least 80% of the reason I upgrade every year is for the RTs and RDs.
I find some of the "advanced" features very worthy - such as multi-riff (I use it often). But most of them are far above my musical pay grade. I'm a pretty basic user. Yeah, give me some new sounds!
I think if any software (including BIAB) perpetually frustrates you for what your needs are, look around and see what other programs are available that might better address your needs/wishes and go with that. But BIAB does what I need and want it to do. If it didn't, I'd be looking around for something else. But I'm pretty comfortable here.
And yes, I check in here a couple of times each day.
