[LAD] VST 2.4 v. 3.0

[victor]

Hi everyone,

does anyone have any idea on the uptake of VST 3 ?
Is this becoming the standard and 2.* being quickly
deprecated?  
Comparing the two, there is a lot of stuff in VST3, it
seems quite heavy, which seems to be a change 
from the relative simplicity of 2.*.  Also 3 does not look 
backwards compatible (so older plugins would not
work with it). 
On the FOSS front then, with 3 we are stuck again 
with Steinberg's terms. So my question is: are 
developers in general sticking with 2.* or has everyone
moved to 3. Again, my question has an educational
slant, should we be teaching 3 or 2 (or both, if we
are teaching VST at all, that is) ?

Thanks

Victor
