not any that started from laptop. i've seen grooverider, marcus intelex, drumsound and simom bl smith using serato. but they've been in the game years, so they've earnt their status.
it's not like they've just started out and are using it.
i don't get why people give laptop users such a hard time, when cdjs are basicly exactly the same thing.
Yeah I understand exactly what your saying.
to be honest, I just cannot afford vinyl as im only a student at college studying Music Technology.
These are the decks that I have:

not strictly true. i bought serato having not touched vinyl and i was mixing within hours. allbeit not to any great standard, but the beat matching was more or less spot on
every mix - which would have taken me months, not minutes to get to grips with.
i remember downloading songs and then playing them without having heard them and hitting it everytime.
EQing was a different matter all together, and learning about phrases and cueing too. but that all comes with time and practice, whether it be vinyl/cdj/laptops. all the other bits aside mixing.
but i switched to vinyl because i just found it more fun, and a lot more enjoyable. also, when you hit a mix is so much more rewarding. and i found with serato, having a choice of x ammount of songs infront of you is overwhelming, and you get bored of it really quickly.
vinyl, the fun never ever ends.
thats my 2 pence anyway.
