I use a remote and/or keystrokes for transport functions, so I only glance at the Reaper transport for visual feedback. I agree that this is a wacko layout...unconventional, to say the least. But, I do like the large play/record buttons for visual feedback. However, reversing the play/record buttons is troublesome. I always think of record as an "additive" function to play, even if it's a one button record scenario. Since Western culture reads left to right, anything "additive" comes on the right. Sure...play/pause/loop, I get that. But this play/record convention is a strong one, and shouldn't be ignored.
