There's a reason this thread is up to 18 pages now.

Yes, user-friendly doesn't automatically mean everything is going to work perfectly. But, the minute something doesn't, it gets ugly. Fast.

And I don't disagree that Cockos trying to support Windows VSTs in Linux could turn into a giant can of worms. I'm not even saying they should. I'm just saying if they were able to pull it off and make the process more invisible - even to the point of just saying, hey, sorry these specific plugins won't work so deal with it or hey sorry we only support this version of Wine - it would bring more users into the fold.
