Please compare cubase/studio one/live to reaper

I was really green when I started using reaper, and I found it really easy to get going with basic stuff. I spent a lot of time fiddling with sonar trying to get routing working and other things that are so incredibly easy in reaper.. I found myself not thinking much or worrying at all about the DAW, and just spending time recording. Of the few hangups I did run into, I got very quick answers from the forum mopst of the time. I still have a fairly basic workflow, so Im not a great reference for more advanced stuff. I just wanted to chime in about my impression when I was just starting out.
