I just started using Buze, a Buzz clone that actually, uh, works.

Buze is awesome, but I’m hesitant to make the switch. It’s the bugs I know versus the bugs I don’t ..
Last time I used it was before VST support though, so I should probably check the latest version.

There are bugs in both, yes, but development-wise one is mostly dead due to a hard drive crash almost a decade ago, and the other has a public SVN repository.
While buze is lacking some buzz features, it’s got a lot of little-known features of its own to compensate!

No question Buze is the future. I just meant that I have learned to anticipate and deal with the bugs and anachronisms in Buzz; they don’t slow me down any more. I don’t know the quirks in Buze, so they do slow me down.
I’ll almost surely make the switch some time soon.

the fun thing about Buze quirks is that with each new release, they change! Imagine, you too can delight in random crashes thanks to adding a PeerCtrl to your song (it just happened to me now)…
