I have plenty of software synths that can easily match or exceed my hardware synths' capabilities or sound. But there's just something about the hardware. Plus, it's nice to look at something other than a computer screen sometimes.
That said, I still primarily prefer software. Hardware is a "nice to have," a nice change of pace, but if you have deadlines, relying too much on hardware is a pretty bad move.
