Something that bugs me in Reason actually (why not have ctrl up / down arrow like is the case with moving horizontally with ctrl left / right arrow?). Even has a preference to stop items (clips) from moving horizontally when moving up or down to a new track so it doesn't move out of place timewise. Pooled Clips (Aliased / Linked), Track Folders, Track Grouping, Track Freeze, Shortcut To Slice By Playhead (if that's what it's called), Envelopes (automation lanes) can be placed beneath the clip or within it and show / Hideable and again are pooled (aliased or linked), Time Markers and Regions. All these things apart from some of the CC Events (I'd probably never use half of them) are things I've wished Reason had had for years now. You can even label the piano keys so put Snare on the key row where the snare is and it has a different note type (diamonds) that you can use for drum hits and CC Events, well, it has about 20 including velocity. I've discovered you can quantize the note ends to the grid, it has remember last note length, remove note overlaps, note displays, chord painting (you hold ctr alt shift and it changes the tool to a paint brush and when you click and drag up that note column it continually puts in a note relative to the chord scale you have selected at the bottom of the midi editor) and you can paste 3, 4, 5, 6 or more notes in. It takes a bit of customizing and you need to get a decent theme (as in my opinion the default themes aren't great looking) but the amount of features I've discovered it has over Reason (I'm talking 100 seriously and it's 6yrs younger than Reason and not up to version 7 yet.) Been using Reaper now about a couple of months (although had it 6 months before that) and hardly feel like opening Reason now.
