id disagree that the OT doesnt excel at a specific genre - in my experience it definitely excels at creating the sort of 90s trip hop and downtempo stuff that features lots of cutup samples and juggling the bits and pieces of them (slices). the OT can destroy that genre, just crank it out all day long, and it sounds great doing it
its also pretty good for making any kind of electronic dance music - it has specific advantages for that, mostly for performance tho
basically, any loop-based music is a good fit for what OT can do
but it wont excel at classical compositions or anything with tons of tracks, also the whole mentality is just different - for example if i am sitting down to do some kind of soundtrack or long form linear song - i definitely go to the DAW because its just the easiest and most robust way to do that work in the quickest and most efficient way
yeh, its not as fun as just jamming on the elektron boxes - however that can also go sour if you get too caught up in polishing the loops over and over instead of moving on with the whole piece, as its very easy to get distracted by tweaking on hardware
