I personally have a preference for practical effects, but always reject the notion that CGI is cheaper, lazier, faster, or somehow requires less artistry or craftsmanship.
The problem is that the money men in Hollywood see CGI as better, faster, cheaper. Even if it's not actually true in practice, the suits believe it. A portion of Men In Suits covered how many creature performers had a long dry spell when producers saw CGI as the solution to every problem.
