Nice outboard compressors give the sound a slight colour, but plug-in compressors seem to be very clean and colourless - same can go for EQs too (although sometimes this is usefull). Have a listen to a nice hard bassline run though an outboard valve compressor in comparison to a plug-in - quite different.
I do use plug-in compression a lot of the time now days, as I don't have access to a good outboard compressor here in Japan (or enough money to buy something
)- I must say with the newer level of compressor plug-ins I miss good outboard compression much less than I used to.
