I don't see much disrespect, only people excited for an editor that frankly is years overdue, a huge oversight.
I don't think its years overdue. I've used my KPA effectively without an editor for 5 years. They have focussed on other things seen as a priority and to be honest I think they got it right.
To be clear I really want an editor and I wasn't bothered about reverbs BUT I repect that direction of travel as many other people needed those verbs.
Should the KPA have been delayed in its released so it ships with an editor? Nah. Happy I have had the fun I've had.
The editor is a valuable edition ( see what I did there) but not a show stopper.
The froth is mainly becuase we know its coming...for that I am really excited!
