   Your point is well taken. Digital oscillators are ruined by the
   same thing that makes them great: their ultimate stability. 

If I might respectfully disagree...  It's easy to say "digital is
perfect, analog is imperfect, but we like imperfections, so add some
imperfections to the digital circuit", but I think that really misses
the point.

Digital circuits suffer from a number of imperfections too; they're
just fundamentally different than analog imperfections.  Depending on
the circuit specifics you'll see pitch quantization, clock
quantization, unnatural syncing, waveform interpolation problems,
several kinds of waveform aliasing and modulation issues.  All this is
audible.
