This is actually a really good topic for discussion! Most of what I would say already has been mentioned. Really, how flexible MIDI is is what keeps me using it. It is so customizable, sometimes I need it. I would never use MIDI to emulate a guitar - but for bass and drums - I use it all the time. With some fancy footwork, you can make it so you can't even tell. Plus, sometimes I actually go out of my way to have something sound synthetic. As Mario said above, with some genres of music, pads and synths can really lend merit to the tune. It won't sound like a real life instrument, but it isn't supposed to. And when executed well, it doesn't even cross the listener's mind.
