Exactly. Hey, if someone wants to pursue the controls-on-module thing,
they're more than welcome to write their own frontend. :)

Maybe because you've never used a good implemtnation of the idea. Like I
said hte Linux implementations are quite a way behid in UI terms.
Actually I've used the Nord editor (not extensively, but I've played).
It is very nice indeed, but like I said complicated patches just take up
too much space, especially when you work at a "lower level" so to speak
(with lots of amps, and scaling, etc).
Think of an average Pd patch, except with 400x300px modules for
everything. Hardly feasible.
But... it
doesnt solve the modular synth problem, as nothing encourages
DSSI UI's to be modular synth friendly, and they are all seperate
processes with toplevel windows, so framing them together modular
softsynth style is going to be hard.
That's okay, I don't like UI-on-the-module modulars anyway, I just want to be able to
click on a module to get a GUI window, like ams (except
with custom GUIs of course)
Each to thier own.
