To sum it up again:

REAPER threats VSTi as FX too. Steinberg does it differently with their Instrument slots (which mimics hardware connectivity).

In REAPER you can insert more then one VSTi on a track and you can even place them after an FX.

I think it would be great for the "hardware" people to get an option to force all VSTi to be placed before FX plugins and to threat them as "Pre FX" sound source too.

Bypass FX should not bypass VSTi in this "hardware style" mode too. On a mixing console you also don't mute the sound source by bypassing the insert FX! Sending a channel pre-FX will send the sound of the synthesizer.
