I don't quite understand your distaste for musical instruments.
Some people are just born weird, I guess... ;)
Instruments sound like screeching, buzzing, clanking, honking, clanging feedback distracting from the beauty of the human voice.
No. In reality, I don't feel THAT strongly against instruments, and think a capella that tries to imitate them is usually pretty queer.
Used in moderation, instruments can support the voice or add cool effects (especially harmonicas, banjos, guitars, and pianos), but I do prefer pure-vocal if the voices in question can pull it off.
