Hi Bill,
Thanks for the reply. I can see that it is standard convention, at
least with VST, to have a supplied user interface. I can see the
benefits in it when standard controls aren't good enough. But those
interested in interface consistency will not want to subject their
users to whatever may pop up (however good it may be).
Thanks!

I second that.
I do not.
Custom UIs aren't simply a question of looking better, they allow
developers to add functionality that isn't possible with the standard
notion of 'parameter'. If you ignore my custom User Interface and my
plug-in needs the ability to load samples, what is the user to do? Or
what if my plug-in supports dynamic parameters of some sort, like an
envelope with an arbitrary number of breakpoints? Or a waveshaping
plug where the user can draw the shape? IMNSHO, these issues can never
be addressed by common controls, because (hopefully) as soon as we
standardize an arbitrary-point envelope control, someone will have the
creative vision to come up with something new you can do with these
toys... that requires a new way of controlling and visually
representing it.
Best,
Art
