The problem that I see with computer based looping, effects, synthesis, 
etc. is still the logistics of taking your instrument to a gig.  I 
personally
would be very reluctant to take my computer and 17 inch monitor to a gig.
I don't think it would be a road-worthy setup and its too bulky.

This is where a hardware-based looper such as the Echoplex is still 
superior.  It fits nicely in a rack and you don't have to bring a 
bulky CRT monitor to view your settings, etc.
