I can only agree with the others - there is no compareable solution.
This is definitely the most genious plugin ever seen!
Although i admit that i didn´t spend the same time on other DAW/Surface solutions (a bit Reaper and Ableton), but surely nothing can compete with the power of AZC.
But as also mentioned before (and you do that yourself), it´s always flexibility vs. simplicity.
So i would agree that this is not for average users - the power of endless possibilities has it´s price.
I know some friends, who would not spend 5 minutes to get some useful SW working - even if they are shown the advantages. Average users/musicians are no programmers.
What i would consider, is providing presets for the most common gear, with a bit more descriptions and pictures too. Perhaps a Wiki could be useful, but maybe a section "Surface & presets" does the same.
So the freaks can help in building the preset-base. But as Hermu already said, that could(should) be the duty of HW manufacturers (and cakewalk).
I have even considered making a short video to see the full power of AZC in "action", because most people will not read through all manuals and tutorials, so can not see the real power.
And about "blowing up" the installer: i really did that - put large pictures in resources, so the EXE grew from some 100kb to 5MB - it helps
