interesting thread
i use mainly freeware and one of the main factors that helps decide whether i keep something in my vst folder is stability. for this reason the only surviving synthedit/synthmaker plug is drumatic 3 for me - never had any issues with it especially now it has been recompiled with a recent bugfixed version of synthedit. i have found INTRO and adonis to be quite buggy (especially adonis). oatmeal still crashes quite often for me which is a real shame.
