So uh... excuse me for pointing out the blatantly obvious here, but there are an exceedingly large number of ways to change a sound after it has been produced. Yes, it sucks a great deal that you can't change anything about the actual synthesis of the original sound, but whether you use a vsti bitcrusher, something like dBlue glitch, even something as elementary as the fx functions of slayer 2, you can create an exceedingly diverse array of sounds from just about any source. Furthermore, I've used several VST's that allow you to sample a sound and use that as a jumpoff point for synthesis- hell, for a simplistic version, just look at 3xOSC. For a more complex one, I think you'll find that Chameleon allows you to mix and match pretty effectively. Yes, it requires a little more work, but if you are actually concerned about the way your individual sounds... sound, you'll probably be willing to do the work anyways.

Fuck Nexus?
Why?
It's a useful starting point in the creation of unique and rich sounds, if it is used correctly.It should not, by itself, be the endpoint unless it is misused, but if you are angry at the fact that people use it as one, you should probably be saying "Fuck You, you lazy bastard."

Don't be so quick to blame the program when it is largely the lazy producers who are at fault.
