I don't think it's perfection as much as lack of understanding of what the
analog counterpart is really doing.  For example, hard/soft oscillator sync.
There are many ways to do this in the analog world, and they yield different
(but entirely predictable) results - which is being emulated?  Or
intentional sources of distortion - are the circuits being understood to
that level?  Most of the analog designers aren't sharing their secrets...

The other thing has to do with instrument design.  I mean, in the same way a
violin is designed to be an instrument, so is a micromoog or a minimoog (two
very different playing experiences, by the way).  Something simple such as
the range of a knob has a big effect on the palette of sounds.  Are the
virtual instruments spending time with such considerations?
