Take the best piano software that you can get your hands on, maybe add a little/or a lot of convolution reverb of a piano's soundboard, then place it in a great sounding room reverb...and the result can be very convincing, depending on the rest of the track.
That said, a real piano doesn't have to try to be convincing. It is what it is...real.
You can make it work either way; you really can. Don't be afraid to use software, but make sure you do your best to give it as much character as possibly. Use the best reverb you can find to put it in a realistic space (a small room, or even a large hall if you're going for that sound)...that alone can go a long way in the software piano world...not all the way, but a long way. (this all assuming you've got a great sample piano to work with...I use Art Vista's pianos, along with Ivory once in a while)
