got nothing intelligent to say on this topic (never heard of Jimmy Edgar and know instantly i'd be in the anti camp) but by weird synchrony there is an ILM thread tangentially intersecting with this one, on the anti-IDM consensus
http://ilx.p3r.net/thread.php?msgid=5223116
the most interesting comments are by drew daniel yes him outta matmos, and although he intends to defend idm from its detractors (he likes jimmy edgar) when acknowledging the formulaic-ness of the genre he makes rather a devastating critique especially as its informed by technical knowledge, ie he knows precisely how easy it is to make this music
planning a cull of my record collectition and one of the areas where there'll be the most carnage, i suspect, is the IDM (post97ish, not the first wave Anglo idm before it was IDM stuff)/glitchcore/clickyglitchy type stuff. and i'm not anticipating being able to sell it for much.
