Yes indeed. I asked for people's DREAM devices, not just some vst you would like to see ported. "This would be kinda nice to have" does not exactly sound like a dream.
No, this isn't "some VST I want to see ported" ...I guess you didn't understand the draft mock-up picture.
That's a RE using a custom_display where you're able to add and connect it's own basic synth modules "freely" (but still snapped together like on an eurorack) allowing modular building of a polyphonic instrument but using the traditional "monophonic modular building" paradigm, which we already have today in Reason.
Those generic knobs below the custom_display would bridge the usual remoteable/automatable controls with any of the internal module controls. At the back there would be as many CV inputs (and outs) also as an interface between the regular Reason rack and its internal virtual rack.
If RE SDK rules allowed, the back would show another custom_display showing "the back" of those virtual modules allowing inter-connection virtual wires, just like we're used to have in Reason but these would be "virtual" (I know, virtual within an already virtual rack) and because of that, savable as a patch, so it would allow you to keep those internal wire routings.
Imagine that RE like an iPad with 2 screens, one on the front just for controls add/remove/move/assign controls and one on the back for add/remove/move/assign wiring between modules and to/from the "real" audio/cv in/outs at the back.
So... no, this wouldn't be a VST conversion. I've used the KarmaFX VST example since that's really the closest (but still not the same) to what I consider my dream RE.
Happy now? Can my post be in this thread now or do I have to remove it because it's not "good enough" of a dream RE for you?
