Of course using a click for example with a grindcore band is not a good idea. ?hih. But with medium to slow tempo tracks click is good to have around. All drummers just can't keep the tempo when playing alone. When the band plays together the rest of the band usually retains the drummer and the whole set holds together, but if the drummer plays alone it's very common that the tempo increases even with experienced players. Sometimes the tempo doesn't hardly change at all and sometimes quite a lot. When drummer monkey gets excited, even clocks loose time. Hoho.
Unless playing studio lives, I'd prefer click. I just can't see a reason why not to have it if it's possible. Playing with click destroys groove? Then probably playing with drums (like a complicated click, but rythm indicator that too) kills groove from keyboards and rest of the isntruments too. ?hih.
Ps. I don't see what click has to do with MIDI. Metronomes have existed probably as long as mechanical clocks.
