Reaper is made by the same developer that made WinAmp, it was designed to be user customizable as this is what users want.
To wait a year in hope that the developer might add this or that feature is a killer, when you give users control via scripting it can be made today.
If you are sick of waiting you would be best just to try Reaper as you can try n try n try.... it for free, it's pretty simple to use, more so than other DAWs.
