Back in the day, there was no alternative. TDM is what you did if you wanted to do business. Now there are alternatives in the Native-land, so DSP plugins are not a necessity for plugin vendors anymore.
From what I have read and heard, coding AAX-DSP (with C++) is a whole lot easier than coding TDM (with assembly). But the nature of DSP as a restrictive platform never goes away.
Real problem here is Waves screwed DSP business by dropping DSP development and therefore DSP plugin prices by 50%, or in other words, today plugin vendor cannot double the price when they have DSP available.
