Its great for people who can think musically, i.e. they compose songs  
on paper without instruments.  I saw o9(who is out of the music game  
now i believe) compose via Buzz on the fly.  He would compose 4-5  
bars at a time and then assign different instruments and effects  
searching for different sounds.  It was fast, brutal, and  
impressive.  Something i will never be able to do, but then again my  
parents weren't an opera singer and composer like his were.  He was  
classically trained in music theory from childhood.  For some one  
like this a tracker is a great tool to explore ideas quickly.

I use Buzz, but only the instruments and effects which i load into  
other programs as vst plug ins.  I need a visual type tracker to aid  
me.  I have a hard time in the old school trackers.  Like you said,  
for me its not intuitive, and not creative.  At least thats how i  
justify it!
