Well, at least they are not forced to use them.
They are Free to do what they want :-)
It's just that such a thing is not available yet
IMHO, but it should be otherwise I think lots
of good audio developers start wasting
their time on the same thing:
writing (sometimes ugly) widgets (hey its not ok to expect
audio programmers to be masters in GUI too :)
Paul: didn't you write some sort of a GUI
widget for Ardour ?
What do you think about this ?

Yup, code code code :)
Once the code is there the rest is easy I think.
