A lot of people are getting caught up in the specifics of how "groove" is created. I don't think it matters how you get there (programming or playing), but having groove is without a doubt an essential part of great production.

And its not like quantizing means no groove and not quantizing means great groove. I play in all my drums, then slide midi notes around, apply different percentages of quantization, etc. There are many ways to get there, but whether its a more quantized southern production or a real loose RZA type sampled beat... the drums just gotta move people.
