I've been using some of each for a couple years now, I just think if something has the sound I'm after, I'm going to use it, be it hardware, software, miking up a bell in a metal can and running it through fx, whatever. My gripes with hardware are of course the ad/da and latency issues (since soft synths are generally automatically compensated for latency by the sequencing program). My gripes with software are stability and ease of use (they crash now and then, and go through and program them for a controller keyboard is much more tedious than simply turning on hardware and playing). But I use both, and wouldn't give up either.
Juho, have you checked out fxpansion's BFD? It's REALLY killer...
