if i try out a new VST plug i open its GUI. with the GUI i get a nice
and compact look of all its controls.
If i want to use the plugin i resort to rebuilding the GUI with galan
controls (they have better functionality).  

its all there and its your choice.
but there are of course several vst plugins, where you need the GUI,
because the controls cant be mapped to knobs or sliders.
