This is the Props biggest issue. Not that the existing instruments are not very good or welcome additions but that the time it takes for them to get their products out of the door in such a fast moving industry, is maybe just too slow.

The flip side is great stability and reliability but I guess it would be great if they could keep the stability and reliability Reason has, but also get their products out of the door much quicker.

Should they ever one day randomly announce that they have made it possible to VST host their sound engine so that I could for example host a combinator as a VST within Live, then I'll use it again (as I said theres alot to like about its modules), but until then - I cant be bothered with the hassle of using it.
I think many have been begging for VST support but Props are not having any of it. I respect their position. It certainly gurantees their control of Reasons Dev. process totally and probably simplifies it as well.

It could well be that even if they add VST support the impact on market share for them with so many other options available now may not be much at all. Not nearly as much as it would have been 4 - 5 years ago.

The Props may have worked that out already and may not ever bother with VST support now.
