I am happy with MIDI. MIDI just freaking works. I've seen someone fight to setup OSC for about 20 minutes (and failing) in a particular DAW, and the creative process of just plugging my hardware synths together with a sequencer - no computers involved, and having it work is awesome. I agree channel routing is annoying, but for most things I do (electronic music) it's not limiting. Am I wanting to sequence a Harken (sp) Continuum with full aftertouch and funky envelopes? Not so much. I dread the day everything requires a computer, and the MIDI cable is an amazing beast for having lived as long as it's lived. It's somewhat like a shark or crocodile in that respect. I agree it's not beautiful to automate a smooth filter sweep but in general, it's a great thing.
