Does this argument work for illustration as well? Do you prefer to write SVG using a text editor instead of using Illustrator?
That's completely irrelevant. The non-human-readable SVG format can't translate to this topic in any respect.
Well, a few weeks ago I would have agreed to your opinion. But after watching Bret Victors great Talk about The Future Of Programming ( https://vimeo.com/71278954 ) I don't think you're 100% right. Right at the moment I also prefer hand written code over that generated code by some Adobe tool. But as Bret Victor puts it in the talk, I think it would be shame if we create applications in 20 to 40 years in the same way…
WTF? An Illustrator that never learned Hand Craft illustration as the core of it's art, is not an illustrator but a guy who uses tools to replace and emulate that art, same way, a Front-End must know how to code. If not is just using tools, not a bad thing, but it's just the superficial layer of the work. reply)
You do understand that if someone learns how to illustrate using a specific tool, it would classify them as an illustrator. Just because a person doesnt use the same methods you consider traditional illustration doesnt mean they're not an illustrator. Does it mean they're not as good of an illustrator? Possibly. But that's a bit close-minded.
