I wasn't even aware v2.6 had a x64 version, and I haven't heard of anyone using it. I'd say v2.6 is at least 95% used in x86 mode, and AviSynth+ should be compatible with v2.6 x86 and further provide x64 support.

If someone really wants to use v2.6 x64, then correcting that version to make it compatible again is an option but I don't think many care.

The main advantage of AviSynth is its compatibility with a large library of plugins. If we were to rewrite all plugins, better as well rewrite them in VapourSynth.

I think VapourSynth has great potential but it still lacks major features:
- audio support
- ffdshow support
- extensive library of plugins

There's also the issue of AviSynth+'s extended interface. I think we can write plugins that make 'optional' use of AviSynth+'s extra features while also working without, by first checking whether the functions exist. That way, we can maintain compatibility without being limited to the old interface.
