I still think a second mode for tempo envelope (like when you implemented fader scaling for volume envelopes) is the best solution for this.
But seems like you lost a potential customer here, regardless. Which is sad, but that still doesn't mean you shouldn't do this change and add an option. Like, ASAP.

No, it's like your reading comprehension skills are non-existant. schwa didn't say that the change is impossible, he said that it would be a DEEP CHANGE. What would be nearly impossible is converting EXISTING PROJECTS to the linear beats method, so you would need to do those projects FROM SCRATCH. It is not impossible to implement this. Read what schwa said again and please understand what was mentioned:

Do you understand what was said here?

Wow, the amount of self-entitledness and arrogance that exude from your posts is amazing. How about learning some humility? It is not about who's right, it's about things being done in different but equally valid ways. Understand that.
Plus, you're also insulting the developers here. You have quite some nerve to do that!

And he put zero effort in understanding why Reaper's method is not wrong, it's just different. No, he HAS to be the one who's right, and eveyrbody else is stupid, including developers. That's his stance. Fuck that.

Reaper is not the only DAW that has linear time timeline - Cubase also has an option for that. So no, it's not a different route from all other DAWs. I'm sure some other DAWs have an option for linear time vs linear beats timeline as well. What's missing in Reaper is the option for linear beats. Feature request for that actually already exists and it's years old.
