Pros
Pro Supports MIDI out
MIDI out is a new addition in Reason, allowing feedback to MIDI devices.
Pro Multi FX presets
The multi fx are very nice. Great for transitions and complete sound management.
Pro Mimics true hardware through a skeuomorphic GUI/UX
Reason's rack and mixer visually emulate real studio hardware through a skeuomorphic GUI/UX, allowing you to route audio cables and CV very intuitively. Hit "tab" on your computer keyboard, and you can see the rear of the rack, making routing very easy to understand.
Pro Offers an easy way to quantize and slice audio
Reason makes it easy to stretch audio or slice it up for glitchy sound effects. When audio is loaded, it is analyzed so slice markers can be placed at the beginning and end of each note. Slice markers appear when the audio sample is double clicked.

Comments
Flagged Pros + Cons
Con Time consumer
Synths are very bland. Sounds need a lot of processing to sound as good as 3rd party vst's in other DAW's
Out of Date Pros + Cons
Con Dated low resolution graphics (GUI/UX does not scale for 4K displays or higher)
This issue has been resolved with ver12
Con Lacking track and channel grouping
However, you can group channels by using separate mixers for groups.
