Yes, the taboo subject. Probably because it is mostly judged by what is present in popular music (ie. dance, hip hop, etc.). Or because people involved in electronic music are often referred to as acoustically challenged. :D
Quite the contrary, I say... atleast once you push past the junk involved with dance, etc. It deals with the bare essential waveforms to create complex sounds, not an easy concept to understand. It is pretty much waveform physics. It is quite possible to roll your own electronic sounds that mimic acoustic instruments, even reverbs using comb and all pass filtering. There really isn't anything you cannot create, the only restriction is actually thinking up the idea.
Anyways, here is where electronic music is at as far as using graphical user interfaces. Pretty nifty stuff imo. (watch the video).
