I'm happy to see people on the Csound list getting some value from my
article.  It's true that some things have changed since I wrote it in
2017, including the subsequent release of the Nebulae V2.  Maybe it's time
for an updated version of that article, or at least adding a "Csound" tag
to make it and other relevant articles easier to find.  At the moment,
other items mentioning Csound on my site are available through the search.

In reference to the original Nebulae, I don't think my assessment is
inaccurate.  The large majority of people coming to that module from the
modular world as of 2017 were treating it as *just* a granular sample
player, and I heard a lot of complaints about it not being an ideal sample
player (in particular, about it not being retriggerable) from people who
didn't seem interested in reprogramming it themselves.

Oh, I didn’t know it was you. I thought the series was very interesting and nicely written.
I got into it by reading Part 8 on the state variable filter types, polyvoks and wasp, then
worked my way backwards from there.

To his credit, he warned the reader very early on about the addictive nature of modular synthesis ;)
