Counterpoint, i feel the same way.
As a child, I wanted to learn music, but I got bored. I think that if I had've been using a computer, I would've gotten bored much sooner, as there was no real interaction with a teacher.
As it is, I gave up piano when I was 8, but when I started high school, I got annoyed that everyone was better than me, and the only instrument I played was recorder, and piano (badly), so I took up piano again. This time I want to learn, and I am progressing much faster.
Today a music teacher showed me a program, called Band in a Box. 'Basically' he said, 'You just had to type in a chord name (C7, Dmin, etc) and select a style, and the program would improvise on that chord, in the style that you chose.'
I sat there saying, 'Why, why use a computer program, when you can get that chord on a piano or a guitar, and play around with it yourself. Much more fun, and you learn a lot more while doing it'
Personally I am old fashioned when it comes to music, I believe that composing should be done at the instrument, or away from the instrument, if your ear is good enough to tell what you are writing sounds like, but definitely not at the computer. In my eyes that is cheating. Sure, use the computer to notate it, for legibility and easy printing, but to compose, I wouldn't go near it.
