I think you have to accept the fact that no matter what the capabilities, the quality of the sounds, the ease of use, the practicality/utility, the excellence of the technology, the quality of the demos, or the massiveness of the marketing effort; a large percentage of people/musicians JUST DON'T LIKE THE CONCEPT (of an arranger), especially for professional use. Just a fact of life. Therefore, pursuing this endless debate is futile (and maybe even a little ridiculous).
