Maybe, but I don't know anyone personally who believes them. Digi are no sweethearts, but math is math. I know that doesn't instantly translate into good sound quality, but there's not much to argue about. It's as transparant as it can get. Analog derives its width from subtle differences between electronic components and distortion. I am convinced that analog sounds superior to digital, but as been said a bad mix or one from a bad console can also lack depth and width...

I never said I was 100% convinced with digital modeling. Using the best of both worlds means to me using a DAW with an analog summing buss and outboard gear. I think analog can never be completely modelled. However I don't mind digital summing... I don't see the difference of adding a plugin to the mix buss or a saturation plugin on a channel to a completely analog modelled mixer... When you use a transparant mixer it allows you to choose whatever flavour you want from every track...
