I agree. While it does take some real skill / innovation / whatever to do something magical with these types of tools and there are some terrible abuses particularly on the amateur side, the fact remains that some really great music has been made with these tools. We encounter quite a few purists (and that certainly has it's merits in particular situations), but I think it's best to keep an open mind with this sort of thing.
When recording Manson or NIN, go all out with your computer gadgetry. When recording Dylan or John Prine, pull out a couple ribbon mics and say hell with it.
