I have an idea! Why not write an UTAU alternative as a web app?
No downloads, need to install anything, no need to switch locales, everyone always has the latest version, cross platform, works even on slow computers and Chromebooks (perhaps even tablets).
Sure, you'd need to always be online, but maybe the benefits could outweight the disadvantages.
People could upload their voicebanks to their account and give access to other people. And since there are no downloads, you can always revoke access if you want to, and no one will be able to use your VB without consent. Same goes for USTs!
Rendering would be done on the server, and the user would be able to pick any resampler as long as they prove that they own a copy of it.
I think the biggest difficulty would be creating the front-end GUI and decyphering the parameters sent to the wavtool/resampler. Javascript is very easy to learn though, so that's one less problem.
