Sorry but it's as much about the skills as it is about the music. If a DJ has all those effects at his disposal then by all means he (or she) should use them. The problem with most electronic music DJ's is that they think it's all about matching the beats of two songs and that's it. Which leads back to my original point that the crowd doesn't demand anything more than that, and this in turn, creates a plethora of sub-par DJ's who only go as far as mixing two tracks together and that's it. Things like key mixing, programming, moving the tempo up and down or even mixing up the rhythm of a set, seem like lost concepts nowadays.
