PREACH.

Learning REW is essential if you're serious about your room. And it's not hard to figure out the basics of it and get it working.

Spend your money on room treatment. If you have more money than time buy the premade stuff from GIK, if you're jamming econo then learn how to DIY, it's not hard.
Agreed and agreed, but furthermore, understand where treatment ends and turd polishing begins.
Sometimes with REW, and often with premade acoustic treatments, you're just throwing good money after bad.
I don't waste money on egg crate style audio foam anymore. A lot can be accomplished with 4 to 8" panels made out of pink insolation and it's really cheap and easy to build them. Space them from the wall and you do even more.
Totally! Even moving blankets make a difference if spaced from the wall and rippled. But it really helps if the room is worth a damn to begin with.

I recently watched an acquaintance spend $600-$700 on "bass trapping"(amazon.com) for a 10'x11' with a 7' ceiling, because they had a "bass problem".
Yamaha HS8's firing down the 11' length of the room, with an open closet to the rear(doors off being used as THE BOOTH) and door recess next to that.
...Naw dawg, you've got a room problem.

Makes my head hurt.
DIY and die anyway.
