I think it's all meaningless. It all comes down to how the listener hears it. Apparently we all seem to see something worthwhile in any one of these arguments, otherwise we'd never listen to IDM/whatever the hell you want to call it.
So--I think it matters on the person. It doesn't matter what kind of software or hardware you're using, or whether or not you jump around or have bears on stage with you. If there's an appreciation somewhere, good enough. If there's no appreciation (something most electronic and experimental musicians/artists have experienced) than good enough as well. It comes down to our emotions to music as composers, musicians, listeners and human beings. Everything else is opinion carefully disguised as science (something we could debate the validity of on its own-how about a new thread?).
cheers,
