I also don't really get the Waves hate, other than it being just par for the course for trigger-finger hate about anything and everything these days.
Offering 3rd-party FX chains will always be a little contentious given how source-dependent they are, but many realise this and are prepared for some to work, some to definitely not work and some to be close enough to only need a bit of tweaking. Most accept there is at least a lot of potential for starting points, inspiration etc. And all this can be a huge time-saver.
When I was researching IKM's MixBox, I seem to remember almost universal praise for the included presets. So there is obviously some love for this approach.
From the demos I listened to SV sounded excellent. Of course, the chains were designed specifically for the demo material, but you only need look at the offered macro controls to see how easy it would be to tame and reshape the results to fit into different contexts.
Also interesting to see how far 'Element' has progressed, but I don't see the comparison. One of these apps allows for deep design, routing etc. and the other is trying to circumvent all of that 'from scratch' process by offer professionally-curated chains. Not saying either is better. They're just very different beasts.
