Yes, it is a fine GUI for technical users who want to create synths.Reaktor & Synthedit both have interfaces like that (as would my app). But Reaktor & Synthedit also let developers build panels with knobs &sliders for non-technical users. It works well in the Windows world. There are lots of Syntheditsynths/effects available, and they are used a lot with few problems. (Ofcourse the audio quality varies, but that is a separate issue.) Only asmall percentage of people want to delve into using Synthedit themselvesthough.
