I'm mostly a leaner. I at first thought a ROS wasn't for me because of that, but now I'm not sure. I've only use a platform so far and killed 3 deer out of it.
When I'm on my platform, no matter the tree, the platform is always the same size and distance from the tree. I have enough muscle memory and ability to visualize/feel the platform as I walk that I can move around it brace against it's edges, etc. I've never misstepped and came off the thing or made a bunch of noise.
But with a ROS, the tree size and just how you spaced them that day is going to make every setup at least a little unique.
How can you guys walk around the tree and hit those steps while holding your bow and paying attention to the deer? Are you always making micro-glances down like when you are trying to walk quietly on land and so glancing around for deer while looking down to not step on a stick?
