When I read how u-he is now forced by Steinberg to discontinue offering VST2 (or even just having any VST2 code in their development files) I think CLAP is probably about to see continued support and a rise in popularity.
FL Studio is about to support it and that is one huge userbase.
But yeah, how much of it is supported is indeed the one thing that makes it very complicated for the user to get a clear picture of the actual benefit. Not that this was any different with VST2 or VST3, we're just more used to those (think of GUI scaling, 64Bit or MPE support or lots of other things a plugin could support but often didn't).
So like with the other formats, users will have to bugger devs about supporting the features they really want.
I'm super happy to see this come to fruition, having seen very very early first steps of it many years ago.
Cheers,
Tom
