I can totally undestand your point Jojo. It most definetely won't hurt to have one, especially for those who don't wana get involved with plugins.
i don't want to rely on VSTs which i have to download first and load into MPT everytime i start a module just to see if there's room for more volume or not.
When you start a new module, you also load your samples/instruments first, or VSTis, and you search for new ones, from time to time, on the internet or any other source.
Setting up and customising your "virtual studio" (wich normally should take a few seconds to a minute max) when you start composing should not be a burden for anybody imo, nor gathering the most comfortable tools for work.
I've grown to like VST plugin idea more than the embed OMPT extensions (for several reasons), so to me, it won't mean much difference, propably will leave that unused too.
Also, i wana have my working space clean as possible, having tools, skins all the times in front of my eyes that i don't or won't need will not please me. =) Now, i'm not saying that this practicular VU meter and clipping indicator feature would make me discomfortable, but more similar gui extensions that i won't necessarily use, most likely will.
I've mainly choosed OMPT because it has the most cleaner and faster working arrea (pattern tab to be specific, it's perfect to work with, it's also very flexible), got a VST support and i could customise my keyboard keys for the most fastest and comfortable work.
I like it this way, when it's like Firefox, got a minimal gui with nice customisation system, and there are tousands of powefull plugins for any additional personal needs, that you can handpick. (i use Opera, but thats really another subject :wink: )
