Nobody uses it though, so they don't have a lot of money to develop it. (The interface is also very plain.) PCDJ had video mixing before Serato, and has some good effects, and it's stable and light on computer resources. How come nobody uses it? Because it's all about the brand names, people get caught up in the brand, and never consider that there's something better out there.
What do you need a vst for? You certainly don't need an effects plug-in, at least not with traktor. With serato, that would be understandable. And if you need a vst host so badly, why not use ableton in conjuction with traktor? That would give you two amazing pieces of software with near limitless possibilities for musical creation and manipulation.
