Software mixing is cheating, simple as that

There's just something I find about software mixing...
I mean, you can hook your CDJ's up to a PC or Mac or what not, and have a perfect set with a great set of gear in front of you. But the reality of the situation, is the fact that you can mix an entire set with just that one laptop, you don't really need any real hardware anymore. With the level of advancement seen in these programs, all you need is a computer and a good piece of sofware.
You think back to the days of the super-star house dj's, and the first generation of trance DJ's and what not, and you can bet they only dreamed of programs like Serato, or even CDJs for that matter.
I personally find CDJ's to be a real DJ tool. They're a classic turntable, but designed for the 21st century. It's hard to really consider a pure software DJ 'talented', you could only call him educated (on how to use a computer program).

Some of the software still requires a fair bit of knowledge and skill to use well.... programs that automix for you are definitely cheating.

Exactly. Hardware and software mixing is totally different. Some software programs commonly used by DJs like Ableton Live can't even be considered software DJ apps - its just volume and EQ level adjustments that simulate mixing with a mixer and decks.
The 2 are totally different and shouldn't be compared like this!

Exactly...we shouldn't compare between the 2...as long as the set is good, it doesn't matter what he/she is using.
Of course if someone has dj decks, it's better to use them coz it saves time & effort. If not, then software is no problem (keeping in mind that software mixing also requires knowledge)

Software Mixing is a timesaver! - i should be using less time when making a set in a program - but i end up spending ages on trackselection etc. and tweaking every little detail of it - i just dont think as much when im behind proper decks - and its exactly that that makes software ideal for radioshows - i've always used software for that exact purpose

you can do exactly the same with software, go with the flow, if you are good enough you should be able to get your set sounding as good on either software or hardware
to say that software requires no skill only shows ignorance, there's people that make statements such as "anyone can mix with software" that haven't even tried it for themselves, can't even tell the difference between a software and hardware set
yes, automix programs are cheating
