Decay, Sustain, or Release weren't that useful.  With a fixed decay 
rate, the decay time increases as the attack level increases which

VC decay is also useful. One reason is that's how real percusive or plucked 
string instruments work.  The higher the note, the shorter the decay time.

Also, a VC EG should have a delay stage.  I've always had the idea that slight 
random variances in a delay stage could make those robotic sounding sequenced 
midi files, sound a little more human.
