After reading all that, I can't help but feel that when movies first came out, there were plenty of people complaining about how live theatre plays were obviously better and everything is getting worse. The article even admits that CG is a lot better today than it was a while back. Yes, they make mistakes and things could be better. But that's because nobody is perfect and everyone is making it up as they go along. When nobody has done it before, it's impossible to copy them. Personally, I love today's movie and their CG, especially when I can't even tell it was CG. It used to be incredibly obvious that it was CG. And it used to be incredibly obvious that puppets were puppets. Everything gets better as people do it more.
