See, I have knobs on my MIDI controller.... none of which can be used to tweak the fake knobs on VST's or VSTi's as far as I know, despite their use of standard MIDI events. I love tweaking knobs and sliders and stuff.... just not with my mouse, especially since then you can only tweak one at a time. I'd love for a paradigm like Ardour's to get standardized somehow.... where a whole bunch of keys become essentially mouse buttons so you can quickly adjust "sliders" and "knobs", or gang them if that's what you want to do. Interfaces where the "knobs" and "sliders" are just eye candy, though.... where you can't resize or maximize the window, where the standard keyboard shortcuts (e.g. tab, space for button presses, etc.) don't exist, where even the fonts are bitmapped so you can't blow them up by changing your system fonts.... belong back in 1993 when they were an improvement over the status quo, or at least no worse.
