VST developers will (obvioulsy) drop support for SONAR.

That's another risk going forward. Hardware compatibility is another.

Another reality.
 
Ya, most will work, but those boutique plugs that Noel used to hack the code so they would work in SONAR. Say bye-bye.

As long as my Blue Cat Patchworks continues to run in Sonar, I can use that to host any misbehaving juans, among other things.

You can't possibly need any more plug-ins!

I was worried less about me than I was for those that may be trying to build their VST lib.

But I have found that I can sometimes use it to host things inside another host that won't host something successfully itself. 

That was exactly why I bought it. Mixbus has issues with retaining a tweaked value on UAD plugs **IF** you start with a preset. It can be recalled with a little finesse but that means examining every track, aux bus, bus and master bus to re-finesse any/every UAD plug in the project when you reopen the project.
 
That was the time I could not make it work right for me. After inserting PW on a track that had a UAD plug, crash.
 
TBH I have not installed the last update and I have not tried to "get it right" in Mixbus.
