Would you write plugins for a free, Linux virtual studio?

Oh, I'm not saying that you can't gain popularity with a new free, open plugin interface that is cross platform and whatnot.

I'm just saying that I won't be on your boat, but I hope many others will. I will stay on the SynthMaker boat. That's the ferry I'll be travelling with now, wherever it may take me

Edit: and yes, the topic/poll is skew. The topic is a yes/no question regarding development of plugs for your host. The poll is a two alternative question where one alternative is "yes, I'd develope plugs for your host" and the other is "yes, I'd use your host". I'm picky about these things

If the plugin API is sane, yes.

Why not try this plugin interface? It's pretty much standard on linux.

LADSPA is also insufficient for instruments, GUIS, and any complex plugins. GMPI will fix it all, if I ever get momentum going.
