All though Reaper can open surround sound files right? Can you break them with it too like with SF?

Sony Creative Software have never been interested in accessibility and I doubt they ever will be whereas other products have come along where the developers are interested in accessibility and take note of user feedback, there's a lot of competition out there. A classic case in point is Sonar, I know someone who spent literally thousands over time on Sonar this and Sonar that, upgrades and all the rest of it. I encouraged him to try Reaper and.. well.. he wished he'd known about it earlier and he's furious with himself for spending a fortune on Sonar, of course its not his fault but I do give him credit for having the courage to try another product and just not blindly follow on. Finally, I doubt whether 99% of Sound Forge Pro users - whether Blind or Sighted - would even use a quarter of the functions offered so we're back to square one, why spend so much money?
