I have tried the DAW you are referring to and I would argue that the forum host does NOT in fact have a DAW! Or, at least not one that could ever compete in the DAW industry!

Maybe. Lots of RealBand fans on this forum, just like Reaper fans. They're both devoted and passionate, aren't they?

I used Reaper exclusively for about a week. Totally get the bells, whistles and "culture of customization" the influencer referenced. But Reaper is not much of a DAW for MY simple purposes either...

Dang right.
I'm old enough and been into computer music stuff since it pretty much started.
I had cakewalk and what was it, Dr T I think, back when floppies were the common way to get data/applications..
I discovered PowerTracks early on (ver 3 maybe) and it brought me in to the fold.

If you can't make a decent sounding song In PT/RB, the bells and whistles might as well be ornamental.
They are basic serviceable DAWs and both do things no other software can natively with the generate options.

Sure, I have used Reaper, actually have a license, but the end result can be indistinguishable between DAW A & B.
One may be more fun for you, another for Joe over there by the coffee (he's making me nervous) but they both work.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
