Of course when you are claiming that FM synthesis can recreate any acoustic instument (Like it does in the DX7 instructional casstte tape I found at a thrift store) you are fooling yourself. Most music made with FM synths with that assumption does sound pretty crappy, I'll give you that.
I use the Dream Station that came with Sonar 1 extensively. It has a FM knob which I just can't keep my mouse off of. Maybe if you used that your opinion of FM synthesis would change.

hehe bare in mind I don't completely hate FM synthesis it's just that in its original incantation its so mindnumbingly a pain to use. I havent used the Dream Station yet but lately I've started to us Rob Papen's Blue i believe its called which does have a great FM implemantation which is easy to use.
However, i might be a bit biased against FM since I do most of my synthesizing using Casio's PD, phase distortion, which is one step away from the complexity of early FM synthesis but one step above decoding the Rosetta Stone and figuring out pi up to 12 numbers.
