I don't think I could do a gig on Traktor, or any other software for that matter, as twist3d0n3 said, it's kind of lifeless. In fact I'm pretty sure I said that to him at mine recently. Softwares fine for bedroom djing, but I'd rather use CDJs or vinyl in a club.

i never said mp3's were inferior
my point is having VINYL-STYLE control is better.
as for standing there with a laptop; i can categorically say that i find shyfx a joyless **** to watch now, as he just stands there using his laptop to mix. it's lifeless. i'm not saying i'm a purist per se, but watching someone actually do some work and having the chance for mistakes makes it more enjoyable.
I haven't experienced anything different
I've never had the chance to practice with vinyl or CDJs, because of the cost. Hopefully this will be changing soon 
However, I like to think I'm not lifeless when DJing. I bounce along with the crowd like a lunatic as well, as you can probably see from this video:
It was an absolutely mental night
Look what I came up whilst sorting tunes for my new mix
Enjoy
