Thanks for all your answers so far!!!

OK, so none of us can really guess at percentages, but it seems clear that a 
significant number of reasonably expert audio users use an external MIDI 
interface of some kind.

It also seems that general configuration problems fall into a couple of 
specific areas and do not trouble most users, either because it's easy to 
fix, they don't need the functionality or it Just Works.

I am also interested to hear from people who don't use MIDI at all or have a 
specific reason not to configure it. (other than simply hating the medium. ;)

Good. The responses so far have been very useful. Thanks for keeping it so 
focussed. :)
