If you're trying to compare Cockos (Reaper) development with Reason, as that's the only DAW company I know of with 4 key people, I'm afraid I can't agree that it's even a fair comparison.
For starters, Reaper doesn't have nearly the stock instruments and samplers along with a massive sound library that comes with it. The fact that Cockos essentially just gives you a tiny
<10 MB installer is pretty telling - nothing of consequence comes with it, IMHO. The bundled effects are... meh.. not that impressive, IMHO. And while Reaper runs light and is a great environment to host your VST, without an arsenal of purchased VST it's almost worthless as a production tool - unless editing audio is all you need to do.
The amount of time and resources that just went into creating Reason's stock synths, samplers, and effects - along with a massive Factory Soundbank - must have been a huge effort - and now they're picking up the DAW part since Record.
I totally understand that you're impatient for updates and features to be added to Reason, though. I feel the same way. We always want more and we want it yesterday, especially when our favorite DAW is in a perpetual game of "feature catch up" with most other DAW.

Hah!!! That was brilliant, and so true.
