Mainly, I dont need to keep track of how many VSTs are running: I can be more experimental or let projects get messy sometimes because I've never bumped the performance ceiling in Reaper, but in Ableton this happens all the time :/
Super fast manual chopping/arranging/editing clips. Simple little things like the nouse wheel locking to zoom and having no track 'types' means i get to slice move things around, and reconsiolidate new patterns very quickly. A lot of my drums are done by manually editing a sampled audio drum loop and spreading out variations uniquely chopped sections over a whole track - a technique that only emerged from how fast and easy it is to do this in Reaper.
In short- since I started using Reaper I started finishing whole tracks, and finishing them often. I was never really able to.do this in other DAWS. So for me that's pretty special!
