I'm not exactly at the highest levels of industry. I generally agree with you- I much prefer hardware or a laptop. However, as a musician, I wouldn't perform with one, but I use forescore literally every day. As an sound tech, I've mixed a while lot of shows on glass both as a monitor engineer and FOH for smaller stuff. My iPad is a great tool for that work. They are pretty ubiquitous amound sound techs, at least at the levels I work at.
