To me, this sounds very much like wolke's fx_fun branch and Renoise. And
even though Comix and Alessandro may have intended something like #2...
Hydrogen has become #1. Many people hope to see Hydrogen continue to be
this way.

This one inspires the heck out of me. :-) However, realizing this vision
will end up being *almost* a total rewrite of Hydrogen. Both the back-end
and the UI.
In the _end_, these are two different programs/applications. At some
point ("sooner or later"), the efforts would have to be divided to achieve
both goals. It's possible that a common back-end could be utilized for
both goals... but that would take careful coordination and planning
(because the back-end would be totally rebuilt and repackaged).
*sigh* Now what?
Peace,
Gabriel
