Tell you what, if Reaper becomes fully and truly Free Software (by the FSF definition), I hereby volunteer to implement LV2 support for them /and/ write good LV2 extensions for any features present in whatever version of VST they happen to favour. Ball's in their court. You can't beg a mechanic to fix your buddy's car when he's welded the hood shut - and plans to run over the mechanic's bike as soon as it runs ;) Until then, my bike is Ardour.
