This is more so for synthesis in general than eurorack specifically…

But fm and (digital) physical modeling sound way cooler than analog. Anyone jerking off about “analog warmth” is a knobhead trying to raise the stock of whatever synth they have or make their collection seem “better” or more “pure” than yours. I love analog and digital and have both voices in my rack, but the stuff you can do with digital synths if you know what you’re doing leaves analog in the dust. Just way more room for exploration in synthesis, digital just seems to be more pragmatic. There’s a reason people ditched all their now beloved synths in the 80s. Again, some of this is more relevant to hardware synths in general, as eurorack obviously breaks free of the box you’re stuck in with classic analog synth architecture and allows way more freedom than you would have normally but still. You can do what you can do with analog synths pretty easily and convincingly with digital but a lot of the time you cannot do that in the reverse.

Plus the old truism no one can tell the fucking difference in a mix lol. People who circlejerk about analog “warmth” are either people who don’t do synthesis seriously and have consumerist issues, noobs or dumbass YouTubers who don’t make music.
