That's my general feeling too.

Quite a bit so far for 'engineers', people doing complex editing tasks and those that want to dive in and customize Reaper as a goal unto itself, but if I want to sit down and CREATE MUSIC, there's not really too much yet to make that process easier and more rewarding.

Probably the biggest 'creative feature' added so far IMO, is the Media Explorer time selection, but even that has been overshadowed by the underwhelming lack of routing, searching, pitch/playrate control, folder sorting etc.

Though it's still VERY early, it seems many of us had unrealistic expectations and perhaps it would've been better to have LESS of a wait for the start of v4 public testing (to make sure the development direction is aligned with the user base, and avoid unrealistic expectations), or a LONGER wait until more of the little (in development resources) requests that are received as major features for those that want them could be implemented (ReaEQ spectrum and freeze are a few examples that come to mind.)
