Live's days numbered? No.
There is no other audio app out right now that can do what Live can do straight out of the box. Show me a program with a matrix of clips, flexible and easy routing, bonehead-easy MIDI device assigning, and I'll sell my body to a drunk businessman.
Reaper and Live are different programs. Use both! I will.

I can't help but to chuckle at the idea of a program called LIVE battling another one called REAPER
But seriously, that's not what it's about. These packages are so different it's definitely not an either-or situation.
In any case, being a Live user but very interested in the developments of other hosts, I have kept my eye on this one for a good while now. Feature-wise, it has evolved into an application of mighty proportions - considering its age, that is. Despite the hectic programming pace, it feels very streamlined and pretty much oozes quality of code and loving development. Hats off to that one.

That's pretty funny
I don't know where these trolls come from, but I guess if they get you thinking about Reaper it's not all bad.
I highly recommend any Live user download Reaper and take Live for a spin rewired, it's a beautiful marriage for me...you'll be surprised what you can do.

Seriously, Reaper's light-weight and it packs a punch. If you're on Windoze and haven't already shelled out umpteen-thousand dollars investing years into one of the "big boys" already, it's a no-brainer!
I initially left Sonar for Live, but Live specializes in a whole different thing. That's why it's pointless to even compare Reaper and Live; the better comparison is Live+Cubase/Sonar/Tracktion compared to Live+Reaper. For those users, if they haven't checked out Reaper yet they might be surprised.
I know I was...

There are a few quirks, but it doesn't seem hard if you've ever used a linear app like Sonar or Cubase. The midi is a bit tricky, and like others have said, there's more to add. I'll add more as I learn more about it, but for now, here are the things I love:
1. The skins are great. It's highly skinnable, and a different skin can entirely change icons, etc. And the text and layout are clean and crisp.
2. CPU usage is ridiculously low - the demo project that came with it had 4 tracks, all mp3...Reaper played it natively (no decompressing) and my CPU registered between 0 and 1%.
3. The zooming is done really well. Scroll to zoom in and out; CTRL+Scroll to vertical zoom; select a track, and scroll wheel will scroll tracks vertically. I don't understand why the Abes haven't added this yet...it's SUCH a productivity issue...
I'll post more as I learn...so far so good
im still waiting for your next episode
come on what you waiting for
