here's a long term feature request i'd like to hear discussed by those more
familiar with programming than i am: modular application design.

one thing i like about reaper is its lack of bloat. unfortunately, coming
from a film/video post perspective, it looks like the reaper community is
primarily comprised of midi musicians, and they're all making a lot of
midi feature requests that, from my multimedia post perspective, looks
like it could easily turn reaper into the bloatware i'm trying to get away
from before i ever get the features that make it generally useful to me.

if that's the case, i'd love to see an application design which allowed
users to opt in/out of general areas of the application. midi people could
opt out of video functionality, i could opt out of midi, others could opt
out of installing a score editor if they ever wind up putting that in.

what's the practicality of such a concept?

thanks,
BabaG
