I find it quite hillarious when I see one of "elitist" art is only painting and not digital people crawl out of the woodwork. My reply is how is placing one's own keyster (usually with more colorful language in tact) in paint, and spreading their cheeks upon a canvas considered art. A few lines here with a brush, hand print there, and voila something just as equal to a Vincent Van Gough. 9 times out of 10, it is a troll or someone ticked off because they have ego beyond their artistic capacity, which craves for attention their art isn't getting. 

Same could be said some within the 3d community as well which gripe about using high end vs free to source apps to create content. As well as vendors which get all uptight when I pick their brains as to how to do something they have done with other means than they have used. 

As for other medias, music, I am quite fond of the electronica, aggrotech, industrial, symphonic black metal ect. I am a dj, and have been since I was 16. I love it when the old skool dj's which have a beef, simular to the art vs digital, about mixing with gear excluding laptops, mp3 vs programming through programs like Magix ect. As I can say from my experience with electronica bands which I befriended over the years they are more talented than some of the bands which fart on a couple snare drums, and play only 3 or 4 power chords on their guitar, with vocals that would make the sanest person reach for a sledgehammer. But oddly enough they are the ones with a record deal, where as the other band with talent does their music and are barely noticed. 

I do understand though the claim where it took a person years to learn to play an instrument, or years of school to draw that perfect line. But I also understand that with new technology comes ease of learning, and ease of applying artificial to equal in quality of that which is learned meticulously in the old ways. But I feel as it is the view that by condemning the new ways as heretic to the old is a fear responce since those which are of the newer age can easily equal up to what took years to learn in the fields infant state, become many, and possibly dethrone the pioneers which have made their mark as well as fortunes based on what they started with, tend to get ansy when their fortunes become less because of flooded markets and outdated with new fangled technology their brains can't wrap around if they live to far in the past. The new becomes old, and the old hang on to their exsistence for fear of being lost in the sea of infinity. As often many people do forget where they came from...

Which through writting this responce which started off as a Oh I know what you mean here is my experience, has given myself more validation and meaning as in the recent weeks worth of work on my geneology. So OP I thank you for opening that door to the thoughts you have inspired from this dead horse, no which lays ressurected in my minds.

These are just my opinions, though, I was never here nor there but just an observer watching, laughing in the rafters...
