Imagine how tough it is for the developers at Native Instruments. To anyone else on the fence who hasn't used Kontact before, this suite of products is going to suit a ton of needs admirably and might inspire you to add elements of other genres to your work. Whatever is added since last time is either worthwhile to you or it isn't. If you have a previous version, I don't know what to tell you.
Easy to use and profoundly useful right out of the box (after installation). Regardless, the ability to simply right click on most any control and automatically assign that to a knob or slider on your music keyboard simply by moving that control is easy and intuitive, beyond amazing.

Sure there's stuff you will never use, but so what? No matter what direction you currently want to go in, getting those individual packages will cost more than going all in here. Whether you are into creating classical sounding pieces or the latest electronic beats, this collection will do you. If you've been looking at this and scratching your head, get this.
