u-he is one of the most well known and well respected plugin vendors. Having them behind it gives it a lot of extra momentum. I think it's a fantastic and extremely welcome even if the name is somewhat unfortunate.

I'm aware of them and their rep, but it isn't enough to move the whole industry and it's not like they're going to stop making VST/AU options.

  The article states that there's contributions from other vendors as well, I suspect that this may actually catch. I've not really followed the industry, but my understanding is the controlling interests behind VST are unpleasant to work with for everyone involved - so this is a chance to build something better and in the open.

  Ultimately, the format will live or die by the ease of porting, which probably hinges on JUCE’s decision to adopt it or not. Having followed the rise and fall of a proprietary plugin format (Reason Rack Extension), both Reason’s storied place in the industry and the format’s technical merits failed to convince a critical mass of developers simply because the many SDK restrictions made porting too costly a barrier to entry for what was already a much smaller market. If CLAP can make porting straightforward while gaining sufficient traction among DAWs, I could see it succeeding.
