Hey!

As a frequent user of seq24, I can say that I would really welcome some
development, however, many of the features you list I don't understand.

I think it would be useful to read what problems everyone experiences the
most. For me turning midi ports on by default is a must, I have no idea why
would anyone think this should be turned off by default :)

A single window mode is very welcome. I don't understand this Linux
obsession with opening a zillion of windows.
