... the
problem for users is that it leaves the mappings unspecified, and
although there are some clever solutions for this (several of them),
from a user's perspective it always adds an extra layer of complexity.
contrast with MIDI, where almost all the messages that most people
will generate have a defined meaning even from the sender's
perspective (though sure, the receiver can still map it to something
else if it wants to).
Exactly.
Once upon the time, GM was helpful.
If you made your sequencer play a BassDrum, on one synth,
it would play a BassDrum on a different GM machine too,
without any configuration.
Today MIDI + GM appear too limited.
We need 3 drum-kits, 10 snares, 52 channels, 64 bit
.... spoiled musicians ;)
With current OSC, one would have to configure the headstrong soup of both
sender and receiver.
