With MIDI I can export to a sequencer/DAW and change instruments, chord inversions, drum kits, drum instruments (for example, rimshot to clave), individual notes, and so on. Plus I can make my own intros/endings, change the groove, add song-specific figures and/or kicks, eliminate/change/remove drum rolls, and so much more.

For me, expression is much more important than tone, and I can manipulate MIDI files to get more or more personal expression out of the music.

That is exactly why I do most all of my work in MIDI. Occasionally I will use an RT or RD but 99.99% of my work is in MIDI.

Same here. I much prefer MIDI editing over audio editing.

Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.
