I generally agree and it IS all about what YOU want and like. I am a big proponent of not having all of your eggs in one basket. On the computer side, I can use a Windows box just as easily as a Mac and others. On the music side, I can play out of whatever player I need to .. be it a computer based player (Serato, VDJ, etc) or hardware based (CD, vinyl, cassette, etc). If I want to break out the decks for some reason, I can. Rob still carries turntables (although he uses vinyl control media).
With today's technology, I only see a few places where turntables still make sense .. you actually spin vinyl (assuming you could actually get what you need), or you physically scratch (or scrub as some call it) and want the feel of the large controller .. otherwise, and only in my lowly opinion, it seems to be either a marketing spin (look I have big turntables) or an over-compensation for something.
I truly love turntables and the visceral feeling and symbiotic relationship you have with them .. have had them for 40+ years .. but it would never, ever occur to me to use 1 or 2 live .. Did I mention ever ..
CDs I still will occasionally use and try to keep one player (just bought the new Denon media player) with me, but there's just no going back ...
