That's funny, because I find that I am so addicted to Ableton Live because
it has the most elegant interface that I've ever used.  I feel like I'm on
Star Trek: The Next Generation when I use it.  All that's lacking is a
multi-touch screen (pleeeease Apple!)

But I do agree that it's nice to listen to music w/out visual aid.  I read
an Autechre interview where they discuss similar things as well.  I think
that the visual aspect is great for editing, but not producing.  I hardly
even look at the screen when I'm generating content, rather when I'm editing
it.
