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.
