It’s all about sound quality.. getting stuff sounding good in the mix, getting the bass in your face, drums in the belly and ears..
Reason is a powerful composition tool.. you can rack up many instruments and create a good mix. Of course, it is not a complete program - it’s a synth, a drum machine, and a sampler - and some other options to complement this.
That’s why you have Logic, Cubase, ProTools - these are meant to be Workstations on which you record audio, load tracks and do final production. They can be composition tools, but then why do so many people ReWire Reason into them? ALL of the people who use Reason (Beastie Boys, Prodigy, etc.) create their tracks in Reason and load them into ProTools/Cubase for final production.
If you're complaining that Reason is a bad program because it is not a “complete enough” (Greg), or if you complain because the factory sounds that come with it sound like an '89 casio keyboard, then all I can say is that you are too LAZY to find out what the tool’s potential is. You probably want to unpack the thing and have it make the music for you.
Truth is, no software will make you sound like a pro, and if you rely on the sounds that came with the software, you will sound like the software.
