I think this is particularly true of "fractal art," because every piece of fractal art looks like, well, a fractal. After seeing five or six high-quality rendered fractal images, they all start to look the same. I am very much in support of software tools, especially because of how they limit you (like working with a limited palette), but you need to actually express yourself in how you use the tools. Somehow tweaking parameters and adding premade filters doesn't really do it for me.
