I don't know Reason at all, but as far as I was aware, it was just a
sequencer with a synth and drums included in a monolithic piece of
software. With the exception of a lightweight sampler plugin, qtractor
can do all that using dssi or lv2 plugins and piano roll, with the
extra advantage of being able to record audio. As far as I am aware,
Lmms, Neil, Renoise and energyXT2 all have the same or better
functionality as Reason. The only difference I can see is the GFX and
the method of entering notes. Or am I missing something?

Hey James!
Neil sequencer looks nice, although I am not sure it will compile on my
jaunty. In fact, would be interesting to see if its usable.
Qtractor, lmms, Renoise and EnergyXT have little in common with reason, in
my view. Besides, Renoise and EnergyXT are proprietary apps which I am not
interested in.
As for beautiful GUI, of course functionality is more important, but a nice
GUI can be inspiring. I think it is important to many musicians.
