Personally I think the relationship between Harrison and ardour is extremely mutually beneficial. Harrison is promoting open source while still being able to run a business. You can easily remove plugins if they offend you.

Depends on how many monitors you have. I thought I wouldn't use it ever, until suddenly I was on a laptop. Of course you can use desktops, but hey, why not get more ways to skin a cat.

Looks like those are only in the binary bundles you've to download from ardour.org
When you build ardour from source, you get the plain source, without proprietary plugins.
anyway, availability of more commercial apps for linux is a good thing.
so, there's nothing that terribly wrong with promotion of them.
btw, ardour5 can easily be built without those plugins.
I'm pretty sure there's nicotine in the Tabbed interface... I can't stop using it now and constantly look for it in Mixbus... In other news Mixbus 3.5 has also dropped. Happy Times in Linux Audio world
I've only had a quick go with 5.0, and I did manage to make it crash, but it looks like a fascinating release. In particular, I'm hoping to get stuck in to the MIDI sequencing features such as the step sequencer. It's looking like the MIDI code in general has had a polish.
