    I like sound sources. Plugins can be sound sources. Therefore I like plugins.

    Plugins are great and I use them all the time. Since I'm not made out of golden bitcoin and they do exactly what I need them to do after my analog signal chains, I'm so grateful for being able to have them.

    I agree with this but I was somewhat mystified by the poll. Who cares what other people feel about them? It's like worrying about what guitar your neighbour plays. It's completely immaterial to me.

    As one young man once sang:

    "Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio..." *

    so I guess he didn't much mind what might be playing on it at the time.

    horses for courses.
