I installed the new version the other day and I'm a bit puzzled by the enthusiasm about the new dark skin. I'll have to test it more as I've reverted for the 5.x look for now. Reaper is amazing. Some of its default behaviors regarding tracks management (especially multi-takes tracks) are a bit weird coming from another DAW though. The most impressive features for me is the a-track-can-be-anything and the routing capabilities. It's hard to describe all the reasons why but to me it really feels like a DAW made for developers.
