Do you really think midi sequencers are easier to get than trackers? i don't think so. Midi sequencers are bigger and more expensive. Make a google search, find "Modplug Tracker", download 600Kb and you're set. It's easier to get decent sound with a tracker, because you use the samples directly. With MIDI sequencers you have to resourse to soundfonts (in which case you need a sf2 compatible card) or software samplers. You can use VSTi's too, but how many years will a beginner spend till he finds out what those things are and even that they exist. There's nothing better than a tracker for a beginner. Most sequencers are scary the first time a beginner opens them (ok, trackers too, but they you can achieve acceptable results earlier).

There are still many veterans in the scene who still use trackers. I'm actually thinking of going back to it.

Y'know, it seems that this Saurin fellow simply got the casing wrong when specifying the frame's source directory for his placeholder page. The frame points to /traxinspace, rather than /TraxInSpace.

*ROFL* I will be sure to tease him about that one for the next month or so.

as long as a tracker has a good soundengine, good instruments, and possibility to add effects to any instrument i don't really see why they wouldn't be used, after all that's a totally different way to do totally same things as with midi.
i'm still wondering how VSTi samplers like "battery" for example is used in trackers? and how about MIDI?
