There is no hate, you just happened to read some posts by folks who like midi and know how to work it that's all.

Midi is great but it requires skills and good synths, both hardware and software. If you have a midi piano part that was played by a good player on a good midi controller and then use a good piano VST to play it back, there is little difference between that and a piano RT in the feel and sound quality. But, there's a huge difference in that you can edit that piano midi note for note. Can't do that with a RT.

Do I have the skills to do that? Yes but for most of what I do I don't care because the piano RT's are excellent and plenty good enough. Editing midi is a very tedious job but if you want exact licks and parts for a track then you have three choices. Play the part yourself, hire a player to record it exactly the way you want it or start creating a midi file yourself from scratch by step editing and adding all the controllers to make it come to life. That's certainly not easy but skilled composers do it all the time.
