Being 2018 we will want remote mixing. (Where a network take the place
of a snake).
I am nervous about buying gear that Apple or Microsoft will deprecate.
Is there any body making remote mixers with open APIs that if they are
abandoned by our corporate overlords will still be useful? Any
experience building alternative controllers for remote mixers?

Yes. The Behringer/Midas X32/M32 family of mixers is responsive to the
openly-documented OSC protocol. I have owned an X32Rack for three years, and
happily prefer to control it with a 3rd party, independently developed Android
App called 'Mixing Station' rather than the Windows, OSX and iOS apps that the
manufacturer provides.
Apparently, I'm not alone in my opinion, and the manufacturer took notice. A
while ago, they introduced another line of smaller mixers, dubbed 'X Air', and
for them, they included an android 'official' app on their website. Not
surprisingly, it looks and feels more like the X32 Mixing station than any
version of X32Edit for Win, iOS, or OSX. I suspect they 'adopted' the developer
and contracted him to do the Xair version...
Last time I looked, the X32 official website even mentions the existence of
Mixing Station, and refers Android users to find it on the Play store.
