[RWP] I need all of your input, please. Abandoning Reaper vs. ProTools, should I stay or go?

Great points guys! Kevin, like you, I love System Access and it works 
great with Reaper and reaaccess. Now, let's talk about collaboration 
between Reaper and ProTools. Reaper, as we all know, saves projects in 
.rpp files. ProTools saves its projects in its own proprietary format. 
I'm not sure how people who work in both daws can realisticly 
collaborate together on a project, since Reaper doesn't seem to want to 
be compatible with ProTools session files. I am in the process of 
composing an album, and someone who uses ProTools 11 kindly offered to 
master it. However when I use Reaper to record the tracks, save the 
stems, then load a project just using the stem files which are in wav 
format, sometimes the timing of the stems is horribly off! So how can 
any possible collaboration take place? I don't want to have to tell the 
mastering guy, okay man, the piano should come in at measure 8, that 
guitar track doesn't come in until measure 27, oh great, the drums 
don't start until measure this and that. Way too much time and 
confusion for that nonsense! Am I missing something?
