This happens every cycle. I helped build deviantart, I went as cohort 1 to the first pure digital film program in Canada 20 years ago now, I have 3 emmy awards. I've heard this so many times, it's the continuation of humans clinging to the tooling aspect of the work. I'm grateful my father always taught me "a maker never blames their tools" - and I think that is what this at the end boils down to, the analogue people were so tied to the tool they couldn't imagine their art without it, so instead the new digital film tools made the art less art somehow. Heck for some period of time the film societies when we had salons would not accept digital work, even into the more creative categories.
