I've not logged into Cubase or Reaper since S1 updated to v5, it's now more than capable of doing everything I need, in a very intuitive way.
Coupled with bundling a fully functioning version with much Presonus hardware, as opposed to a lite version, it's a very good offering.

I also own and use Ableton, Studio One, Nuendo, Acid, Luna, Samplitude, Reaper and a few others.

I jumped the Cubase ship for Studio One a couple of years ago, and I miss a few things that Cubase did with both MIDI and audio. What I don't miss are the infuriating bugs that never get fixed and the slow pace of development. Steinberg's focus seems to be on preparing the next paid upgrade rather than giving the current version attention, and blaming everything on dodgy plugins.
S1 was like a breath of fresh air after that. It's been rock-solid for me and while it's not perfect, updates are regular and free and they seem to care about their customer base.
I think that the above pretty sums up my approach. My main DAW is Cubase 10.5 pro which runs on a dedicated desktop machine. I've used Cubase since the mid 90's, so I know it well, the limiting factor is definitely the operator in my case.
Because the dongle / eLicencer software was designed by Satan himself I prefer not to so much look at it let alone try to move it between devices. For this reason, I’ve used both Reaper and Cakewalk on laptops along with Cantabile (which is more of a live performance tool than a DAW). I know that Reaper is capable doing great things but all that I’ve needed to learn is how to be able to set up a project, import a few backing tracks created in Cubase, then record half a dozen tracks of drums in the rehearsal room before sending the results back to Cubase for processing.
For instance, Pro Tools Beat Detective, or its hybrid engine.

GUI and workflow are great, very easy to get to grips with, but has very deep functionality as well.
PC only though
I can't help with your other questions because I've not used anything else, as it's always done what I need and my recording knowledge has grown with it since version 1.
I find it's an infuriating piece of software that seems to cack up every time there's a Windows update but to be honest, I find a lot of software quite frustrating so I'm not sure too much can be read into me finding it annoying.
The midi instrument inputting etc is pretty good on Cubase, I've never been bothered to try and use Reaper for that as it seems to be more effort than its worth when Cubase already works.
