He has already got VSTGUI working on X11.. and is going through plugins at quite a rate porting them over.. I would say it is pretty impressive, and I for one would much prefer native VSTs on Linux than trying to work with libfst... Maybe it would be better if he was porting the VSTs to LADSPA plugins, but I really don't know how feasible this would be.. More choice is better IMHO. The "new traction" thing seems a bit overblown to me.. From the website it seems he hacked together a host for native linux VSTs in 30 mins.. no mention of where it is going. James
