Yeup, but you said ‘every type of plugin’ in your response.
I haven’t done any tests, but I guess the manual removal of FxFactory based plugins will be overwritten by FxFactory anyway, so using FXF would seem smarter. Also the maintenance pack won’t get rid of custom patches. This is becoming very important as the rather nasty GLTools (not used by any FxF plugin) is causing huge problems for FCP and other video apps.
