Thanks... that just makes me glow. :-)
Your point is well taken... big applications require a different
development model than little utilities. Part of the success of
Unix is that there are very few big pieces, primarily the kernel.
Everything else is small and interchangable, allowing a lot of
development to be done quickly before people get bored or mired
in arguments / philosophical discussions. It's very pragmatic.
To me the question is not whether this is a good idea; it's only
whether it is feasible for audio applications.
