Speaking with some friends, all of them Mac (Intel) users, I found that most of them really liked Usine but when I told them "no Mac version" they completely rejected it.
I've read on the forum that a VST version of Usine is in the works, although I'm not sure I really understand what that means (that we will be able to open our favorite sequencer/DAW, arm a track and insert an Usine VST with all its routing and control possibilities?), two thoughts came to my mind:
1) What if there was a way to build platform-independent VSTs?
2) Hey! Java is supposed to be cross-platform!
Amazingly enough, I did a Google search for java and vst, and found:
jvstwrapper.sourceforge.net/
which should do exactly what it says...
What do you think? Personally, I'd switch to a Mac tomorrow if I was able to use Usine without booting into a Windows partition...

thanks for the advice.
A cross platform version of Usine will be a hard job. Usine is a 200.000 lines of codes program: huge, I can't believe I did it myself...
I hope I'll have time to do that one day...
The java language isn't really suitable for intensive audio DSP. It's an "pseudo interpreted' code which means, slow...
