As someone who owns an SLR and an f/1.4 lens, I can sympathize, but anytime I hear some popular new technique being derided as not ideal among "serious" practitioners, I know it's going to take over the world. Remember when "personal" computers weren't fashionable among "serious" programmers? Or GUIs, or scripting languages, or the web? Whenever the choice is "software that's only 80% as good" or "more expensive hardware", the former will win every time.
