So then you fix things and someone will surely screw it up again. :) But most of us wouldn't want to stop using a helpful library just because the next system update might break it.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Maybe I just don't get what your point is. Do you want us all to turn away from coding plugin GUIs with the usual suspects? And then what? Intermediate libraries like DPF or JUCE are surely nice, but they also add another layer and thus another potential point of breakage. Doing custom GUIs in OpenGL might be fun for some, but a pita for others.<br><br>IMHO the reality is that (thankfully!) we have different alternatives nowadays and different people like different things in their GUIs. And those preferences even change over the time.
