Reason subscription - waste of money if you don´t use sound packs?

The roadmap gives little reason to hope that there will be much in the way of new devices

The roadmap actually does mention new devices (currently researching), likely in 2022. But it looks like the latest update from RS suggests the wait is going to be a bit longer as they need to get R12 in a better state:

They must've hit a big roadblock. Last beta was released 2 weeks ago, too.

From RS:

Yes, we are clearly delayed on the roadmap. Reason 12 performance issues have been really tricky to understand and squash, so we're still hard at work getting that in order. Once we get through these bugs and issues, we'll of course keep working on the rest of the roadmap.

I hope they come up with something, but it looks really low on their priorities, and they are not famous for how quickly they do things.

Based on the ongoing and hot discussion of the latest Bitwig 4.1 release, I can gladly say that compared to the Reason+ subscription for 1 year and a price of $199.00/€199, (I payed only the half) I got a lot more from Bitwig.
All those lovely little tools from the 4.1 Beta alone are a slap to Reasons face in terms of revenue.

luckily Reason Rack can be used in BWS too

and the plugin open/closing can be assigned to shorktkeys in BWS too ... so has the same workflow speed as in Reason itself, Reason has some incredibly beautiful effect plugin like

if you get a chance like that it's wicked not to take it
