Look at what Surgeon or Luka does with ableton - it's clearly another level of musicianship and they are pushing the boundaries - hardly boring.
The people you are complaining about are just crap. it doesn't matter whether they are dj'ing or playing live or playing ableton sets - a crap set is a crap set.
