I don't prefer any way more than the other, just want to get the sound I hear in my imagination. Sometimes a preset goes half the way and then I simply tweak it up according to my taste. Other times I might want to do something that no preset offers and then I start out from scratch. I don't think presets are more cheating than using instruments like a guitar or a piano. Whatever brings a vision out to be shared with others is good enough IMHO. The poetry of preset names can be quite entertaining. Sometimes names say more about the programmer than about the sound per se, but I always find it interesting to think an extra second around a preset name just in case... Some presets are really good too! Whenever I see something tweaked by Tim Conrardy, Ian Boddy or Big!Tone I know from experience that this instrument sound may have multiple dimensions and that you should play it thoroughly will all possible dynamic controllers to fully check it out. It's just ridiculous how lousy some factory presets can be compared to presets created by a skilled sound designer. I've made a couple of full sampler instrument presets from my physical instruments, not because it would be "better" but simply because I love the tone of those instruments and the way I play them originally. And when sampled they morph into something new that still brings the flavor of the source sound but now reaching out into new exciting territories. It's all a matter of taste and expression.
