This is how I currently use my Tascam. I have no desire to mix things any place other than on a computer.
So let me ask you this. How is it moving things back and forth between the Zoom and your computer?

The process I have to go through now with the Tascam is very manual and time consuming.
I have to choose individual tracks on the Tascam and go through a process of exporting them to an export file. THEN I can turn it off. Connect it to a computer. Turn it back on and then select only the files I've chosen to export and move them on to the PC

Man...

For no more than you are talking "Input..." wise...

What is the exact argument against something like Reaper?

I'll bet a new box of Jellybeans that it will run solid even on the computer you think is the equivalent of an old Buick Skylark.

Not trying to be a grumpy uncle, but it sounds like it would really solve a few of the headaches as far as what is in red.

I don't use the Zoom for mixing, so all the screen is necessary for is making sure it's recording into the right project. They record to SD and then you throw that into your computer's DAW.

As simple as removing the SD card from the Zoom, sticking it into my computer, and importing the tracks to my DAW. I have an older Korg digital mixer that is a real pain in the ass to export: you have to copy the desired tracks to a separate partition of the internal drive, it takes a lot of time, and if the partition isn't big enough then you may have to delete files to make room for a bigger partition, blah blah that sucked. The Zoom is effortless.
