I'm going to leave off here, since I'm obviously just having a 
conversation with myself now, but I will say that the external effects 
things works great in Reaper and is easy to do.  I did have to look for 
it.  Whereas Cubase rolled out this functionality with great fanfare and 
boasting and integrated it into their application, the Reaper folks 
merely wrote a plugin (ReaInsert) and threw it in with their other 
standard plugins.  They didn't appear to find it remarkable, because I 
didn't find it in their documentation or listed as a feature on their 
website.  But there it was, quietly doing exactly what I needed.

I'm actually getting pretty excited about this app--just playing with it 
this week I've found the workflow and ui to be better/faster than in 
Cubase and the platform to be more stable and better performant.  It's 
easy to make it do what I want and so far it seems to have all of the 
features I'm used to using at Cubase and many of them are easier to use 
and less prone to crashing.  My paying customers are likely to get moved 
to this sooner rather than later.

And I've written some plugins already.  Nothing special or complicated, 
but fun for getting my feet wet in jesusonic.  The ring modulator I did 
last night.  The other three are from Monday night after bowling.
