There have been many improvements and features over the last years I will give PG credit for that.
Though there's still remnants of the past when asking for solo/mute buttons in the VST, they were pretty defiant about that and it took a massive fight, now look at the latest DAW Plugin 3.0 New Features, that looks professional, nothing to do with PG one would think, BUT that took a hell of a lot of pushing to get them to lift their game up!
Don't get me started with VST Sync (for EZDrummer etc..), that was a ten year saga.
Play direct from disk instant generate could be another saga or we may be amazed with it being implemented at the end of the year ?
