I'm still using a hybrid setup with a bunch of hardware and software. I've always been primarily a hardware user when it comes to synths, just because I'm old af and stuck in my old-school ways, but I do all of my mixing and most of my effects ITB. I think the one thing that people get hung up on is the idea of having total recall with their synths, but I take a different approach and treat them as if I'm recording vocals, or a bass line, or guitar part. I usually just play them in real-time and quantize, or I record or sequence the MIDI, overdub for automation, etc. Then I just bounce it to audio and mute the MIDI track in my sequencer (Logic), and I save the patch on my synth in case I ever want to go back and redo the part. I just like the idea of committing it to audio and moving on to the next sound. I know that's all counterintuitive to the advantages of soft synths and total recall, but I find it pretty liberating to complete a synth part and be done with it. That said, yeah I also use and love my soft synths.
