Your dubstep/production loves/hates

I love how I can create a track, post it on soundcloud or whatever and get almost instant feedback on it, possibly from someone from the otherside of the world. I find that such a good concept, even though it's standard for anything on the Internet these days.
I love sitting on soundcloud for hours listening to tracks.
I love when you've made a track and it makes you genuinely feel good (although I always end up hating my tracks eventually)
I love the emphasis on a fat snare.
I hate that that I can envisage a sound perfectly in my head but I just don't know how to represent it on the DAW.
I hate how making music has become so addictive, yet I also love that fact.
I hate the cliched youtube comments about taking a shower because the track is so filthy.
Yours?

Love: how easy/accesible producton has become and how easily you can translate ideas into actual music
Hate: Tweaking the EQ for months on end then finally scrapping all the fx and synths and start making it all again only to realise that it didn't sound that bad in the first place and then not finishing the tune anyway
Also Hate: not being able to tell friends I make dubstep without being compared to Mt. Eden

I love the fact that I can fire up my sequencer, and as long as I set the bpm from 134-145 and include some sort of low-end, I can play it at a dubstep event and people will accept it.
I hate the fact that I have to move next month and will have NO time for production until then.

<-- I am actually making this exact face right now.

Love the Dubstep community and the ability to become well-known on your own merits.
Hate the hordes of people thinking Dubstep is all bro and no flow. Oh, and the commercialisation of Dubstep; bring back the '04-'06 scene!

love that i have a creative outlet
love that there is a group of like-minded folks around the planet i can relate to
love that i'm feeling more confident about my work
love that i'm finally seeing some reward to my hard work
hate that it's so hard explaining to others what i luv doing ('make songs on the computer that only other people with high speed internet access can ever hear')
hate that i'll be moving to another place where i may not be able to play my music loud at night
hate that folks in our generation will soon forget the pre-mp3 days
hate the stupid little quirks of cubase, like windows automatically resizing, accidentally moving the locators at top, no undo for fader moves (ugh!)

I wish i could make a slap-you-in-the-face snare.
I think one of my biggest turnoffs in tracks are the use of an open hi-hat on the offbeat, especially if that's all the hats there is.
I also hate how newbies tracks are slated, but if it was released by a big name there'd be half this website waiting in line to put his dick in and around their mouth.

you clap-loving
i don't mind a clap layered on top of a decent snare, but i don't like it when it's all clap and no real body to the sound.
