On my own I stopped believing in Santa Claus already many years ago.
I'm happy to use it thaks God on Cubase along with many other great products well supported as Serum, Sylenth, Massive, Hive and the whole gang.
Well can I be honest with you ? and I would hate to speak for others ...but I will ! Seligs point was understood 100%!
actually there was nothing he said about Reason not yet being able to switch panels that went over anyone's head...We where just hoping against hope that Reveal could do something...and showing love and excitement for the device and Reveal clearly wouldn't mind porting to REASON. Unlike other devs who flat out say NO!.. and being that we like the way it sounds...and it's Signal path allows some really nice sound shaping ability's.! That's all!

Not nice and slow.....
I really really understand your sentiment there !
In some of my post, I give Reason it's kick in the butt when ever I feel that it needs it. REASON mayyyyyyyybe not be Doomed...it's just that Properllerheads decided to take the long Road instead of the short Road! Instead of trying to force feed VSTs into REASON they decided that they have a better vintage point..having already seen the history and present predicament of VST plugins. They decided that they would do it better...for the users and the developer.
Take a look at the KVR page of SPIRE 1.1...they have to squash more bugs then the CDC.Well if they where coding for REASON...all they mostly have to worry about is REASON it's self...as long as REASON works for an OS then the plugin will work for that OS *usually and most of the time* then focus on even more powerful tools or updates for there devices instead of chasing bugs for multiple OS configurations and DAWs out there!
Reason is a GOD sent for Creating patches...no other DAW out here is better suited for that...NONE *other then REAKTOR*...but Reaktor is not a DAW so there's a lot missing there.
What Propellerheads has planned for REASON Rack Extension I'm sure will be powerful...BUT IN 5 or more YEARS
if it's less then cool.
But as of TODAY and next year and the next year ? if you like me and like all those new tech/tools for making Music..FALCON,EXHALE By Output,The powerful sounds for KONTAK,SERUM,MASSIVE and the list goes on...well we ain't gonna find them in REASON. Propellerheads needs to step up the features in REASON the DAW also...there are dozens of improvements to REASON the DAW that needs to happen to help make the wait for RE SDK evolution a little more tolerable ! But Propellerhead I don't think have the man woman power to do all at once *Mobil apps,RE SDK,REASON* so something will lag behind.
Because of all the powerful plugins found out side of REASON...and the fact that spending $9-$29-$49 ect... in the shop I feel will break our wallets in small increments...I'm thinking of changing my guide line for purchasing Rack Extensions in 2016....I have to raise the bar that I have set and purchase devices that pushes the envelope of REASON SDK a little more, for the sake of my wallet. Blamsoft ZERO,OBERO is a perfect example of that.
That might be away to tell dev to go even further with the limits of the SDK.....man I tell you these low cost devices add up to a large sum of money that could be available for a more powered device. But then again when a device like Megasaurus/ORBIS comes out well all bets are off. So it would have to be on a case by case bases.
New/older dev in 2016 need to step up the GUI game also, I've been supporting almost anythings that comes into the shop...but I'm a more mature 2 years REASON Rack Extension purchaser now..and my Money doesn't grow on a tree, and seeing all the goodies on the Dark Side, that my money could go towards also. So the bar is going up in 2016 for sure.
I just spat my coffee out - thanks Joey.
