How can you say that?!?
Ok, you like the "look" and the "feel" of stop motion (and it's the same for me!), but you can't tell that stop-motion is "better" than CGI, sorry (or you have to buy (new?) glasses...).
You know, I love Amiga computers, I feel a great nostalgia for these computers, but I'll never tell you that Amiga is "better" than my actual computer, just cause it would be a lie... My actual computer is far more performant than my old Amiga, and I can do things that I've never been able to do with an Amiga...
That's all, and it's the same for visual effects.

Note: if you're not conviced, go watch the JP documentaries. In one, we can see dino animations done in stop-motion (that was the initial technique choosed for JP). And now, compare with CG scenes in the movie. So, question: which one looks better?...
