Sure, actually I believe Tiesto uses FL Studio as well.
Most of these digital audio workstation programs can get you good quality results, but it's all about what you do with them.
You can make fantastic music with a budget program, or completely suck with the most expensive software you can get.
In case you're insterested in getting FL Studio, I recommend you check the demo version first, to see how you like it. Don't value the program on the included samples/instruments. You will have to get additional sounds (either freeware, there are many free VST plug-ins and samples available, or commercial) for most DAWs.

Don't give up after trying the program for an hour either. It takes a lot of time to learn these programs.
The demo version won't let you save your projects, so when you're interested in buying the software, have a good look at the different versions, http://flstudio.image-line.com/documents/features.html and realize that the demo is basically the XXL version, so don't think the Express version will do all that.
Here's my promo link for 10% discount on a purchase of $90 or more from the image-line web shop (only for new customers): https://support.image-line.com/jshop/shop.php?offer=Default&promo=BACJBAA468
I've been using the producer edition for years myself and it's great, I think it's about the best value for money you can get with this type of software. The XXL makes sense if you really like Sytrus, cause that's well worth the extra cash. Great for electronic music.
You can also check some other DAWs, see what you like. I'm also using Ableton Live, which is great as well, but totally different and a bit more expensive.
