How will MIDI 2.0 change music? (2020)
To my knowledge there are no GM SFZ instrument packs which contain enough instruments to play any MIDI file out there (https://github.com/sfzinstruments/Discord-SFZ-GM-Bank has like 10 melodic instruments so far). So I have to pick instruments from the ground up when creating a DAW project (and I don't have a good collection yet), rather than using a unified full-GM bank as a starting point. And don't even think about downloading (eg. Doom) MIDI files and playing them in a soundfont of choice.
What's the spiritual successor to General MIDI? Or is the concept no longer viable for (or even wanted by) mainstream electronic, or even semi-orchestral, composers?

How will MIDI 2.0 change music? (2020)
It is a shame OSC didn't specify a minimum standard set of message names to use. I'm looking up and found a proposal for a standard namespace [1] though I'm not sure that even caught on.
