I wish to add my 2 cents as well 
For one I agree with Thomas:
Comparing a full blown DAW on a current PC with *anything* in a modular rack feature, capability or useability wise clearly seems unfair and IMO is completely missing the point of having a powerful sequencer in your rack. After all you possibly could replace most of your rack with VCV but you probably wouldn't want that and you know why.
That having said:
For me the NerdSEQ is as close to a DAW as you possibly can get with gear inside your rack.
Before purchasing it earlier this year I had investigated getting an ExpertSleepers ES-9 and then control my rack from my PC. In the end I decided against it and so far I'm quite satisfied with my decision. If anybody is interested I'm happy to give more details as to my decision process - just mail me.
And yes, there still is stuff that I do on the PC. And then I'm really a fan of my newly purchased bela-pepper that enables me to shift a whole bunch of stuff from my PC into my rack, kind of
FWIW having played around with the NerdSEQ had a profound influence on my list of "modules-I-need-to-purchase" as the NerdSEQ effectively obsoleted a whole bunch of modules on my purchase list. I light of that I'd claim for me the NerdSEQ actually saved more money in terms of "no-longer-required" modules than it actually costed.
Kind regards,
Michael
