To be honest, the advantage of AviSynth over VapourSynth is mainly the vast library of available plugins.

If you create a custom interface for AviSynth+, I think it is very unlikely that plugin developers will get back in the game years after they wrote their plugin to support the new interface. Working on porting those plugins to VapourSynth would be a better path for them.

But then VapourSynth has these limitations:
- No ffdshow support for SVP
- No audio support yet
- Limited library of plugins

In which cases AviSynth+ comes to the rescue.
