I've been using Reason since it was released (Dec. 2000 I think, so 10 years) and was using ReBirth prior to that. Actually, Propellerheads released an iPhone (and maybe iPad too) version of ReBirth that while not entirely functional on the iPhone form factor, is still fun to muck around with. Main point: have to agree that Reason's approach to emulating hardware is a great deal for the home producer/hobbyist/traveling musician. I have a number of MIDI controllers which have all worked seamlessly with Reason... literally plug in via MIDI or USB and then you're physically manipulating the knobs in Reason. Also one side note on the quality of Reason UI. About 5 years ago I was doing some work in Reason on a flight from Pittsburgh to Boston and and I got a tap on my shoulder. A member of the Fedora UI team just "had to know" what was this "incredible looking software?"
