that's normal. with things getting easier and more accessible, those who learned it the hard way tend to get frustrated. I started out with vinyl, then switched to CDs and now I use a DVS and play live... I've heard so much haters talking shit over time, especially oldschool live performers, it really doesn't bother me anymore and they usually shut up when they realize that pulling off a decent performance with digital gear actually requires a lot of skill.
besides, the people on the floor don't really care what gear you use as long as your sound is good.
