Which software developer matches your personality?

Shoutouts to a couple:

- Ben Osterhouse.
Very humble creator of many very musical and creative things. Regular updates too. Obviously a truly talented musician.

- Ross Sampson from Waverunner
Awesome libraries. Plus the man plays in the live band of Global Communication. Which is cool AF. Go search Youtube.

- Rob from Westwood Instruments.
His instruments are elaborate pieces of art. And then there are free updates. Plus he has a true talent for visual design it seems. I like looking at stuff that looks... beautiful.

- Aaron Venture
True scripting hacker who revolutionizes the actual plonkability of samples. The man does not compromise. I always envision him behind a huge computerscreen, testing Infinite Strings v0.9.9.9.8b with his Leap Motion.

- Piotrek Klima
I love his sense of humour, which already shines through in the name Karoryfer Lecolds. He pairs this with a penchant for looking at the entire world around him as a sound source to sample for his next library.

- Nikolaj of Bunker Samples
Whether he’s torturing cellos with a drum stick or feeding bowed dan baus into an Electro Harmonix stompbox, he always ends up creating a very varied sound palette out of a seemingly simple concept.

I mainly identify with these fellows because I admire their creativity and all the hard work they put in. It inspires. To be clear, about the “matching my personality bit”... let’s just say that opposites attract?
 
Urs Heckmann, u-he, super friendly, responsive, respectful to his customers.
Huge updates, tons of free stuff great company to deal with. Have almost all of their stuff and love them. Have amazing sound designers (Howard and others).

Fabfilter, best UI's in the world. Each of their effects is pure gold. Great customer support, loyalty discounts, super respectful folks overall.
Love them because they code all of their stuff themselves, hence the amazing UI's.

SonicCharge Magnus Lidström
Pure DSP Genius, weird stuff, super weird stuff. Love his work
 
I love simplicity and great user experience.

But I buy software like reaper and meldaproductions, why, because I love learning, and new challenges. I love the extensibility of the software, how with either there is very little you can't do. However the interfaces can be clunky and reaper relies on the community for a lot of the functionality, which means there is no polish to what is produced. Even then I think it speaks to the fact I had early computers like zx spectrums, which were never very polished but were cheap and you could still do learn a lot with them.

I still secretly desire software like studio one which look more polished and more thought it from a user perspective
 
Not sure whether I'd necessarily align my personality with any one particular developer, or products. However, I do vibe with the way a few developers do business because were I ever to be in the same position I'd hope to do my dealings in a similar way:

Top quality plugins @ non-prohibitive prices:

Klanghelm
ValhallaDSP
ToneBoosters
TDR

Top of the pile for me is FreakShow Industries, who I believe have one of the most forward-thinking policies in the industry.
 
My personality...how I view it or how others do?

I like the no (or less) nonsense and forward-thinking approach of Acustica Audio, Realitone, Ben Osterhaus, 8dio, Flux among others.
 
My personality changes according to script, characters and story plots. Hence, all manufacturers are potentially a great fit!
 
Aaron Venture: keep evolving his instruments by asking himself "what can I do better?" and by looking to playability and musicality without loosing a lot of time and energy to keyswitch programming.

Cockos: same as above plus a LOT of customizability (is it a word?) to adapt to your onw workflow, if I can think about it Reaper can do it.
