Yep, that would be pretty cool. Difficult, but cool. Does that mean it's not worth putting effort into?

Counter-counter question: why not try and run MS Office, Outlook,
etc. under Linux ? More choice for the user !
Those 'tons' of VST plugins are native Windows ones, they require
an emulated Windows environment just as e.g. Outlook would.
Much easier to use them under Windows, if you really want them.
Any anyway, of those 'tons' maybe 1% provides 'quality', the rest
isn't any better than what we already have or could have natively.
