I think they did a good decision saying away from the whole GM thing.
I mean, GM is only good for playing back standard MIDI files, and I
guess most people doesn't use their synths for that purpose. Most
instruments is quite unuseable, and takes a lot of memory that could
be reversed for better things...

Don't forget the fact that most tutorial Midi-files are in GM format.
