Lots of people would, just look at the thread I linked to or the "tracker" thread that's at the top of the queue today. I mean, if you reword the question as "does anyone think the devs should immediately drop everything and turn Reaper into an old school tracker" then you might not get much agreement, but that's the way many people seem to take all paradigmatic feature requests.
i started with trackers and i get the appeal, but i think the appeal was more to do with the note entry system, whole idea, rather than the vertical scrolling. i still think i made cooler stuff with trackers, hence getting renoise, which i've not learnt well enough yet, had some random crashes when rewired - side issue. with reapers theming you could knock up some sideways button images then flip your monitor/screen 90 degrees on its side and you've got a pseudo vertical scrolling reaper that way! just to try..
