Most people want a reverb that doesn't require a PhD. to set up. They want simple controls and a number of alternative spaces (one of the reasons I like the TAP Reverberator). There are a couple of VST reverbs that sound great and are simple to use. In the long run, what I'm looking for is something that sounds good. I don't really care where it comes from or whether it's free or "free" or libre or "open source" or shareware or freeware. If I could afford a Lexicon reverb unit per track I'd buy a bunch of those and use them outboard and not worry about the plugins. So, the bottom line for me is that it needs to sound good - period. All other considerations (other than my limited amount of funds ;-) are irrelevant.
