Don't quote me out of context to make your own case look better, it just makes you look stupid.
If you're so dissatisfied with The Legend and Dune 3 then move on. Bitching about them here will accomplish nothing except insult the work of your "friends". (with friends like you who needs enemies?)
I only ever mention the Legend when it relates to something else, I long ago gave up on it, but whilst there are things about DUNE I dislike, the sound is amazing and I would love nothing more than to actually want to use it in every song. Consequently, I am going to bitch like hell about it until something gets done to give me that sound in a package I might actually want to use, instead of feeling like I have to, whether I want to or not.
It was OK when we were still on 32 bit Orion, because I could use the Antidote Alpha I had, which has all the good bits in a much easier to work with layout, but since we moved to 64 bit I've had no choice but to deal with DUNE if I want that sound.
I don't love Dune 3 because it's made by Synapse I love it because it sounds awesome and is dead easy to program.
That is provably not the case. e.g. You cannot tell just by looking which voices are in use, you have to solo them one by one to determine what is happening where. That, right there, is incredibly poor workflow, even before you get into the lack of D'n'D modulation routing and all the rest of it that people take for granted these days. You might be very used to using it but no objective observer, with access to all the other $150-$200 VSTi out there, would agree with your assessment of DUNE's ease of use.
Here's a visual example - just look at how tiny and unmusical DUNE's sequencer is compared to Factory's. Which one of those do you think is going to be more usable for 99.99% of people? More importantly, which one of those is more inviting for anyone to even want to work out how to use? The DUNE sequencer is a punish although, to be fair, they do slightly different things.
BTW, that is both GUIs at their default sizes and DUNE 3's is actually bigger overall.

It's not only possible but it's already been done. It's called Dune 3 and everybody who has purchased it so far obviously agrees. Stop living in the past. Unless you want your music to sound exactly the way it did 18 years ago. I prefer my sound to evolve and grow over time.
So do I but only if it actually improves and, as we've demonstrated before, none of DUNE's filter types can hold a candle to Wasp's LP FAT. I gave you the challenge and you shied away from it.
I love making patches. If you don't who gives a feck ?
You mean in the same way that no-one gives a flying feck about that?
You're complaining about Dune 3 being too hard to program but you want me to use multiple instances at the same time to accomplish a task easily done with a single patch in other plugins I own.
Wait on, are you suggesting that other plugins allow you to accomplish things more easily than DUNE does? How is that even possible? I think we can safely leave this discussion here as you have now proven my point for me.
