I'm not sure that LV2 is really that much better supported -- it has
better support in open-source apps (notably Ardour 3), but Renoise
apparently has very solid native VST support.

I'd love to have an LV2 Pianoteq, but being realistic, I know that
there's a good chance that it won't happen. I'm sure it's a lot of extra
work to implement support for a new plugin format, compared to simply
porting the existing VST code to a new platform.

If we want to encourage more commercial developers to bring their
Windows/OS X VST plugins across to Linux, I think having good native VST
support in common hosts is going to help. I know that's not a goal some
would share, but I'm personally in favour of having as many options
available as possible.

Thanks
