In REAPER 4, ReaAccess can't access the track context menu as intended, 
though there is a (rather annoying) workaround. OSARA can also report 
selecting next/previous track envelope, supports peak holds, has an 
action to focus the nearest event in the MIDI event list and has an 
action to invoke the i/o window for the master track.

Probably quite a few things, though I'd argue some of them aren't that 
necessary. Noteably, there's no virtual track parameter navigation (i.e. 
tab and shift+tab in ReaAccess), which seems to be important to some 
users. Also, there's currently no installer or keymap, so setup is more 
involved. I'm sure there's quite a bit more than that, but I haven't 
really used ReaAccess much, so I'll leave that to others.
