Yes, it is easier than porting everything from the Csound 5 engine to CsoundAV, and then trying to keep it up to date. Using the API, it should be possible to implement a GUI frontend, real time audio, MIDI, and new opcodes without changing the Csound5 library itself; it is even possible to add new command line options. However, the disadvantage is that some CsoundAV functionality would be lost, such as opcodes that depend on internal code changes (e.g. the 't-rate' required by OpenGL opcodes).
