I agree with this
I also hate snobbish analogue purists who sneer at music for "sounding far too digital" or say "hahaha why are you using a xiosynth and fruity loops use an e-mu modular you pathetic little mortal" I can't fucking afford an analogue synthesizer you twats.
sorry but it does piss me off
Over time I've learned that you can do so much more with real instruments. You could either spend a million years make a natural sounding plugin, or you can go up to a piano, hit a single note, and listen to how it totally outdoes anything you've ever done. Oh and I get pissed off about things like that on a regular basis too. God our future is hopeless. *sigh* I guess you just have to let it go.
