I've been using VCV Rack since before version 1, and it has consistently been a pleasure to use. The features added to version 2 have just made it even more usable.
Releasing a paid VST version is huge! The way Rack interacts with your DAW is (figuratively) limitless thanks to automation. This also opens up a way for your hardware modular synth to interact more easily with your DAW via Rack. I'm really excited to continue using at, and to see what amazing things the community comes up with.
Last year I released a couple VCV modules under the Hampton Harmonics plugin name. I haven't done anything near as spectacular as some of the other developers contributing to the VCV library, but my experience developing with the API has been great. The update to version 2 for my modules was fairly straightforward (though I know others have had to put a lot more work into it than I have). I wish the documentation were a little more clear and thorough, but the community support is great for anyone interested in diving in. You don't have to have DSP experience either - I don't.
Anyway, congrats to Andrew on the release! I know he's had to put up with a lot of people complaining that it wasn't released earlier, but it's truly amazing what he's accomplished.
