VDJ allows for
more customization and cunning tricks via it's xml maps from what i've seen compared with traktor. it has built in scripting and i've seen people even implement twitch style slicers etc - so traktor doesn't win there for sure.
djdecks supports very flexible xml and also embedded scripts too - which is being merged into VDJ in some way for the next release afaik.
mixxx supports embedded javascript (i think?) scripting so lets u do way more without 3rd party software (like my midimasher) which will be more and more useful over time as they add/improve features.
haven't looked in detail into torq 2 so not sure there - but it does have an open XML format for it's config which should be a hell of a lot easier to edit than being forced into using the NI controller manager - just not sure what u can and can't do with it.
the main advantage i think of traktor over most others are the awesome effects that are available - but to say it's the most versatile for mapping is def not correct imho - and i own/use traktor btw and am not intending to switch any time soon - so i'm def not biased against traktor - far from it.
edit: djdecks even has support in it's xml maps for HID devices (
http://djdecks.be/index.php?module=d...p=midi_xml.php) wish traktor would do that (and i don't mean just for their own private HID for format ofc) and pcdj (
http://www.pcdj.com/index.php/dex/dex_scripting/) has a full scripting language built in for automating/triggering stuff
so with regards to midi+scripting, in many ways traktor is one of the weakest of the bunch. itch doesn't have this kind of customisation but that's a conscious choice ofc.
