Playlists would be an awesome addition to Reaper. Before anyone chimes in with "but Reaper uses Takes instead", I think these two things are actually separate and complimentary.
The Playlists system in Pro Tools is used for comping parts, but comping is just one aspect of the functionality that Playlists gives users. Check out this video:

The first couple minutes of the video describes how to use Playlists to create a comp. This is all stuff that Reaper does well with or without Takes. But skip ahead to this part of the video:
https://youtu.be/t5QfQeguXzY?t=160
From this point in the video onwards, this is all functionality that Playlists can do, which Reaper currently cannot - the ability to edit/comp a track to a certain degree, then duplicate the state of that track to a new Playlist before doing further editing, so that you can go back and recall the previous edit state of the entire track if needed (e.g. if you've made a complex set of edits that have somehow screwed up the track, in a way that's too complex to just hit Cmd+Z a hundred times to undo). Or you could also save the explicit and clean versions of a vocal as two different Playlists of one particular track, rather than needing to duplicate the entire vocal track and its signal chain just to be able to save both comps in a project and be able to render either or both as required.
To put the concept in more Reaper-y terms, think of it as extending the Takes system so that it operates on a per-track level, in addition to a per-Item level. I think it's a much-needed piece of functionality for Reaper.
