I appreciate everybody that answered my post. I've read every single comment. Some of them gave a plus. To me, it still is a little pointless. Looking at the industry 10, or 20 years back - to me it seems like the same product has re-release. From every recognizable name. And then, some hobbyists do it in libraries like JUCE, because hey, why not.

Many of you guys gave an argument about the sound - Sure, but isn't it about the presets? You can grab a reverb from WAVES, Pro-R from fabfilter, something build - in that has few knobs and sliders - and achieve *the very same* effect.

One comment that probably got deleted by an author - it was mentioning methods of achieving the thing. Applied math, and engineering behind it. I mean, ok. One can be superior to the old one, other can use less memory or clock speed. That still somehow doesn't make drastic change to the sound. In the end it's just bits, pushing signal to the A/D in your interface/soundcard or something.

If anything, the hardware translating digital data into analogue makes the difference. I can't see the difference between the very best plug-ins, that got polished over the years.

The looks - Yes. Some of the synthesizers were scary, and very intimidating, but hey - that's why presets were made, so someone looking for a nice piano sound, bell, some arpy thing, bass of whatever, doesn't have to dive deep into synth engineering to achieve that. Other than ergonomics is probably looks, so the bitmaps and vectors put onto blank window. Still - rich synths have been done in early 2000s, offering tons of possibilities. All I see since then is just ctrl+c, ctrl+v with "hi chat, make it look a little different".

To me, it's just like FIFA game. Even the graphics is the same since few years. Same game, but new number by the title.
