I can't help but think that the key here isn't Software vs everything else, but level of abstraction. It really seems the with software, and much computer driven work, your work as well as your products exist as purely abstracted projects. Woodworking requires abstract thinking, but the end result is usually something made out of wood, or the conclusion that you can't make what you were thinking about out of wood.

I do plenty of woodworking, including woodworking with CNC/Software. But, I do know when I'm done with a project because the abstractions are over, the plans are drawn and implemented, and the project is built. Then, its done.
