VSTs work better than Live, because each VST is sandboxed. If one plugin crashes, it doesn't bring down the whole DAW along with it.

Bitwig has so many tiny conveniences like this that I never bothered to renew my Live license. Native Linux support is the cherry on top.

Sandboxed plugins are a tradeoff, as then you can't have ARA support (coming to Live 13.)
