We don't have wordclock available in our setup. But that's really the basis of my complaint.
If Reaper's MIDI sync was properly implemented, it wouldn't be necessary to find all these elaborate workarounds. And there are lots on the forum (using external plugins, scripts, etc...)
And with the likes of wordclock - as I just pointed out for myself - it won't always be available to all users. Unlike a MIDI port and cable which can be found on countless devices, from cheap to high-end and is just a recognized standard for syncing anyway.
(I should have maybe pointed that out, the syncing is done between two PCs, not internally on one)
It's just really frustrating since I know for a fact it can work beautifully if done right!
As I said, with Magix Vegas Pro it was rock solid (slight latency but that's a different issue easy to resolve).
And Ableton Link...OMG!! That's amazing! I did a test and the two metronome clicks from each Ableton Live running on the 2 PCs are virtually indistinguishable from each other!
So it can be done, just unfortunate Cockos doesn't care enough to address it.
