Reaper is the only one for me. I got Cubase LE and Ableton Lite with various things that i've bought, I installed them to see what all the fuss is about - never used them, I've now un-installed them. Reaper does everything that I want it to - its very intuitive and very much like a physical studio environment. I constantly find myself saying things like "It would be great if Reaper could....oh, it can!" I also think that the forum itself accounts for around 30% of the value of the product - if ya know what I mean - it would be a totally different product if the forum wasn't here and you couldn't communicate with Cockos like we do.
I only use Reaper. It does all I need and works fine, so I don't wish to use soemthing else. I also have FL Studio installed but I never found time to try it so far. (it came for free with my soundcard)
reaper 1st, live 2nd there are things about live that apparently will never be seen in reaper so... rearouting live is cool, the best of both

One year with Reaper only, I had quick look at my old Cubase after two weeks using Reaper then deleted it off my system, don't miss it a bit. I still have FL studio installed but I don't use it, I just thought some of the samples might be handy, but they're not really. :) REAPER IS BEST :)
