Sort of makes me appreciate a guitar player like The Motor City Madman, who uses next to no FX/pedals (and he even points that out on his self-titled debut album).  I really question the need/desire to have much more than delay, reverb, slight compression and fuzz.  It's called "guitar multi 5" on my Korg D1600.  Once I bought that D1600, all of my expensive pedals found a nice place on the shelf.
Between my Strat and Les Paul, I pretty much cover the spectrum.  Sad to admit, though, I rarely record anything on the D1600 because it's a pain in the rear to navigate the menus on it's tiny screen!  (FL Studio 8 Producer to the rescue)

OOps, yeah, if I had continued the time line that ended my post:

"The only useful application of midi for guitarists is program-change
footpedals to cycle through amp-modelling/ effects patches... usually
when the instrumentalist reaches the limitations requiring it, he finds
out about it. "

I would have continued with:

"... then after 6 months of frustratingly trying to dial in his 'killer
tone' on his Line 6 modelling amp but never quite getting there, he'll
end up selling it on Craigslist and buying a Tubescreamer pedal
instead."
