I also feel that it's inherently easier for computer music fans to create something that sounds impressive. I've only recently got NI Komplete 9 and have been amazed that I could have simply selected one of the complex pads in Absynth/Massive played a single note and got pretty much the same effect I took ages to get for the last, "drone", challenge!
Still. I suppose I was just trying to come out in support of the guitar and guitar/computer-music hybrid people who see the more satisfying outcome of their hobby/job as producing original music, rather than cranking out All Right Now in a pub somewhere. Nothing wrong with that, did it myself, briefly. It's just that there is another side to what we do that's worth discussing/celebrating.
Interestingly enough, I find that recording definitely helps keep any guitar GAS in check. It's quite sobering to hear a recording from just a couple of weeks ago and realise that you don't have a clue which guitar you used! Not because it necessarily sounds bad, but because it sounds good and they all sound a lot more similar when plonked into a mix, eq-ed etc.
...Of course the GAS just transfers itself to wanting a better PC, some monitors, new plugins etc.
