It's just really dependent on the application. If I were playing live, I'd rather a hardware synth.

Besides, if you really want some analog sound, you won't get it from a softsynth. But that's synth-purist territory right there.
You wont get it from Korg or Alesis for under 2 grand either.

If you have a reliable laptop and no latency issues a soft synth will serve just as well, unless of course you're going to be doing a lot of real time parameter tweaking.
