> People write music on their computers

I'm perfectly fine with that. Computers can be musical instruments and even if they don't take years to master to get a tone or a riff out that does not diminish the accomplishment, which is all about creating original sounds, not about how those sounds are made.




People creating "computer music" are a mix of composers and producers, but not players which is a totally different piece of work. Apart from live DJs, but there's very few of them doing anything on stage that could be called "playing an instrument".
