Hallo!
I dunno. I'm pretty suspicious of toolkits and API's that try to do
"everything" automatically.
LV2 seems pretty well-defined to me so far. I'd hope it doesn't try to do
"everything".
I used an LV2 synth for a year (the old LV2 AZR3 in Elven host), live, in production use,
with excellent results, so from my standpoint it seems very promising.

Actually, the host wouldn't have to deal with
it at all (though it would
probably be nicer to have it in the host than in every plugin that
needed it). My ancient oscilloscope DSSI plugin uses shared memory
between the plugin and GUI, and the host has no idea about it.
OK thanks, that's nice ... but then every plugin, which does not use
this technique, has to be rewritten for non-GTK hosts ...
So I have a wish ;) :
It would be nice to have a class for that in the lv2-c++-tools package,
so that a plugin developer can just inherit this class and everything
else is done automatically !
