In software developer world there are a myriad ways to do stuff. Take Flash for example: you can take a very visual approach to building in Flash or you can use their coding language. The coding language ultimately is a lot more powerful and also allows for a lot of shortcuts or global changes. It's a different approach not necessarily a better one but it will certainly result in different outcomes. I think if you did this stuff for a while you would always be able to tell what was performed by live coding versus a knob (for example).

You know what works really well as a real time interface? A knob. Live coding just seems incredibly inefficient and isn't an improvement on a knob. I don’t understand the point of the live coding.
