What misconceptions about your synths drive you nuts?

Just curious, but what common remarks by other gear-heads or misconceptions that others have about a synth or synths you own bug you the most?

that the ion/micron is the best analog emulator. The sound of that thing drove me nuts - like raking a circuit board against my ears.

"Microkorg is just a toy"

Really grates me, that line.

1. Old analogs are unreliable, especially the CS-50/60/80

2. The Minimoog is overrated

3. You can live without a tb-303

4. Only geeks and collectors buyes vintage synths

For the moment.

Hardware synths are difficult to intergate in daw's.
Probably never heard of midi.
