Opinions on Air Music Tech these days?

I'm thinking about buying some Air Music plugins, and wanted to get some recent opinions on their products. I tried a couple of things from their FX collection, and they use virtually zero CPU on my computer. But there's a whole lot to demo, and not enough time to do that properly.
How is the licensing/DRM?
Is the vocal tuner any good?
Anything special in their catalog?
I'm primarily looking at this as a potential move from Arturia, to perhaps give a bit of context for an opinion.

They removed a most of iLok drm on their older plugs thus now using the inMusic installer hub.
Means I can use the old drum machine 'Strike' again, as I dropped using pace protected plugins years ago.

I simply don't trust them anymore. XPand 2 was great, Hybrid good, many others quite good. But they kind of abandoned them with their ancient GUI regardless their announced commitment to make them modern.
And, more recent plugins were released and then abandoned shortly after. Again.
So, royal pity, but I will no more invest a dime on them now.

Their stuff is mostly a decade or more old. Still works, hey? And it's still decent to good. I have had good results with their Hammond B3 emu, for instance.

I can’t speak for their effects but Riser is my goto synth when I need quick transitions. Great presets. And I like the sound of Loom 2 but not the UI.

Jura Chorus is quite good.
