   my 2 cents from user perspective: I know where I save my files, I know
   where my sample collections are. i know that if i delete my sample
   collection, sessions won't load. i don't need any program to tell me
   that.

   in fact, in using FL Studio or Cubase or LMMS you have the same
   situation. a project can use same files as another project and if you
   damage those files - well, sorry.

   I do not see any reason for complications in session manager design. i
   agree with david, all of this is unnecessary and only will make NSM a
   session manager developers would be reluctant to adopt.

wasnt there a link somewhere in this mail thread about a comparison of
all the pros and cons of 'all' SM's ?
i went trough the thread but could not find it  :-(
ah well, maybe i'm just dreaming
would be nice though, such a comparison matrix

Iirc it was just an idea to do make that. It doesn't exist yet.

An overview would be good imo. It would be even better if such a matrix could help in making a decision for the best SM API to support, at the moment. As a user who wants to use session API X, I don't have much benefits if applications supports session API Y. Unless I decide to use Ladish, personally that wouldn't be my choice though.

 
IMHO making such a matrix is the only good way to make a decisions of any kind
is there anyone that has already made a 'study' that could be used as the basis of a comparison matrix ?
