I agree with your thoughts and frustrations regarding non-standard file-formats, and the increasing plug-in mentality. I've been pestering Impulse to add plug-in support for Imagine for some time now, but have decided that I was wrong in requesting it. Actually, it was Mike Halvorson of Impulse who eluded to how they plan to structure WinImagine, that made me change my mind. Basically they are looking at the stand-alone editor approach…having seperate editors that can be purchased seperately depending on one's needs. They would operate by themseleves, or work in tandem. It's not a universal format, but at least it's a step in the right direction…away from constrictive plug-ins.
