If I take a simple example, let's say x264, it supports VFW input, but not gstreamer input. There's no need for VFW except that it's the de facto standard, supported by (almost) everybody, and gstreamer is far from that.

I wasn't around at the time, but browsing the archives, it appears they were overly ambitious and wanted to extend the script language in all sorts of ways as well. (A noble goal, but surely a long term one.)

Indeed, it was a complete rewrite, using advanced & clean C++ (based on boost). As much as I like avisynth's functionalities the code base isn't what you'd call clean. And, would I have wanted to port that to linux, I would also have started from scratch (porting code you don't like isn't fun, and it's a project done in one's free time).
