As one person who stated this please let me clarify that
point... what I really meant was that instead of a non-engineer
being utterly confused by a complex set of options and therefor
no hope of getting a "good" reverb out of some sophisticated
tool that it would be better in 90% of usage cases that a
simple set of reliable but convincing presets would be more
useful... in the case of a non-engineer using the interface.

Your statement above condemns me to never being able to use
your software because I have zero idea what the above means
and if I need to before I can use your software then there 
is no hope for me. OTOH if your software interface had a dozen
presets for "best of" or "most obvious" reverb settings then
I could get a feel for what your software can do and overtime
get more deeply involved. But that's life, you don't owe me
any presets.

I only refer to "me" as an example of a non-engineer who would
rather spend his time making music than being endlessly
distracted by the associated technology. Sigh, if only I could
swallow my pride and run windows I would be a happy luser.
