Actually it was - you can have 1 cutom UI that will work in any host, and
any number of generic, host specific UIs.
If the user wants to build thier own (curses for e.g.) UI to work in
all hosts, theyre screwed.

You got me when I was cheating. ;) Actually I found out it's the same
in VST for Pd (on Win, but also using vstserver): You can still
control the plugin through Pd's internal messages and the actual GUI
only shows when you tell it to do so. So yes, my argument wasn't
fully valid, sorry. True somehow but then also not: If I don't
like a UI I'd like to be
able to change it. That's something valueable that VST doesn't allow
you to do - or makes it harder.
VST certainly does allow this. When using VST plugins in Ableton Live,
the default interface is Live's widgets, but then you click on the
wrench (or whatever its supposed to be) and it opens up the VST plugin's
native GUI.
