well, its all a matter of perspective, a dj could be the one that its all show, and does the "playback" thing, those nowadays are like superstars.
Then you have the dj that actually uses the turntable as a musical instrument, also called turntablism, wich are deffenetly talented, try doing what this guy does:

but you can either play mp3 with winamp or you can be using a combination of soft and hardware, that in certain cases gives the artist more freedom than a turntable to perform live acts. the artist can also be playing the tracks he produced at home, wich means that he had worked a lot more than a dj by taking the role of the whole band.
Imagine an old school designer, putting you down cause you are using photoshop on a computer instead of using your hands, cissors, glue, and rullers..??yes I agree, there is the type of dj that is all show and no play, but there is also true artist, behind the decks or yes a small laptop.
My advice, music should be heard not watched, close your eyes, and if you like what you hear, thats all it matter right?
peace
