Starting a jack daemon just to be able to send some midi to some midi device 
is maybe a burden sometimes.. I like the idea of jack midi for internal 
routing between applications, especially between Sequencers and Softsynths. 
It lightens the burden on softsynth and sequencer implementers which would 
otherwise have to take into account all kinds of scheduling and priorityu 
issues. But MIDI also has more purposes than that..

Jack MIDI is not the answer to all things MIDI IMHO..

Flo
