I dunno, I think they can be really quick to work with, better than a DAW in many ways. But only if you grok the way they're designed. I really struggle with the Octatrack, to me it feels like it was designed by engineers and the structure just doesn't make sense to me. The number of ways it can get itself into a situation where it's not doing what you think it should be doing, and you struggle to resolve it, is a real problem IMO.
Conversely, the Monomachine, Machinedrum, Digitone, and to an extent the Rytm, I think are all wonderful creative tools. But I totally understand people not vibing with it. I do think they're being left behind a little bit. The Hydrasynth was full of the kind of workflow and synthesis innovation that you'd expect to see from Elektron (Daniel Troberg's involvement being probably not a coincidence).
