Not to an organist, Gary.

Just like with every other instrument, if you play the real McCoy, the MIDI just don't cut it for ya.

MIDI patches with fixed Leslie speed and sim in them, for just one out of many examples.

The organist is usually constantly changing some parameter or other as the song progresses. Voicing, percussion or no Percussion, which Percussion voice if used, Depth of Percussion, Tremulants, Chorusing, Vibrato, Leslie spin, dual manuals set to two entirely different voicings and switching back and forth, Drawbar tweaks, and the all-important Full Organ to be kicked in for the finish in a lot of cases. If you don't manage to do that with your MIDI patches, the lack of animation alone turns it into, "something else" entirely.
