UX: User Experience Design, which should be the focus on usability and accessibility.

and there's the catch - generally usability is inversely proportional to accessibility. Something like garageband is extremely accessible, but it's usability is low (you rapidly run into the inevitable 'can't do that' limits of pared down, simplified interface). Reaper is at the other end - millions of options/menus/commands/shortcuts which puts off users initially, but once learned makes it massively usable.

basically reaper is the DAW equivalent of Emacs

Agreed!

As a card-carrying, former unix-beard wearing, my life revolves around org-mode, Emacs fanatic... I take offense to this.

Can't please them all.

Not to mention, Garageband makes for a bad example considering it is intentionally limited. Accessibility of those features allowed within the arbitrarily designed limitation is what should be the comparison. There's lots I don't like about Garageband, so this might be a good example of when graphic design supersedes UX design. And no... I'm not making the case for "good" graphic design, but just stating, simply graphic design.

This plug-in looks like a step sequencer, but is a MIDI item editor.
It allows you to edit notes on different tracks within one measure bounds inside a beat grid, by toggling grid cells. You can move from one measure to another.

Single-mode and multi-mode:
edit either one single track or a number of tracks Concepts


Insert new items or stretch existing ones automatically Plugin works in two modes. In “single-mode”, there are 128 rows for each note pitch of one single track. In “multi-mode”, you can add a number of rows (“channels”) to the grid, where each one row represents notes of the same one pitch and track of your choice. You can add/delete notes by toggling cells in rows. If there's no item on channel's track within current measure bounds, then either a new item will be automatically added, or the previous item will be expanded to the end of the measure, depending on insert/stretch mode option.

Grid time resolution change You can change time resolution of the grid from 1 beat up to 1/16 beat (for 4/4 time signature, the range is ¼ note (4 cells) - 1/64 note (64 cells)). When you switch to another measure, grid resolution is auto-expanded if necessary to show all the notes inside the measure.

Copy and paste You can select one or several rows and copy/paste cell notes between rows in any mode.

Loop measure Loop measure option sets loop points to the current measure and moves edit cursor.

Ugh, there are so many downright fugly themes with either garish colors and style. Either that or they are completely unviewable because they're too damn dark.

If that's not bad enough, every single time that I've tried a theme there have been broken elements somewhere.
