It's easy to neglect alternatives when you never had many :) We do
have a good selection of native effects, but we are lacking in well
sounding instruments immensively. But then we are back to "what kind
of music do you do" discussion.
The issue goes a little further than quantity/quality relationship.
Some things are plain missing. Luckily gaps are being slowly closed.
E.g. maybe in 2011 we will finally have an LV2 drum sampler (over to
gabaug? :))
Don't forget native Linux VST's, their number
is steadily growing also.
I think I have about 60 to 70 of those sitting on my harddrive.
Unfortunately there are very few hosts.
The last sentence quite nails it :)
