Is it AU only and no VST on Mac?

Yes, AU only. VSL planned to add VST support on Mac, but I don't know if it will ever happen.
In another hand :
- nearly all plug-ins exist in both AU and VST.
- Most plug-ins are also AAX except old ones.
- Most Plug-in editors are actually wrapping their AU and AAX version from VST version (so VST support is not that important in VEP).
I only have 1 plug-in that is VST only on Mac (the old Amplitude 1 LE provided with PTLE 6). All other plug-ins that I'm using are AU + VST. So If I need an old RTAS VI that doesn't exist anymore as AAX I'm using VEP without issues. Otherwise I'm using Magma from Nomad Factory (but only works with FX).
VST are Ok but, the drawback is they're using different key modifier than AAX and AU (i.e. : ALT+click to reset a parameter) and Plug-In Editors don't make any effort to support all the AAX functions (CMD + click to make a fine adjustment, automated parameter's colors, automated parameter shortcuts, surface control support, etc).
