Well I haven't read the article yet, only the thread, but if spending is an indicator, I am a dedicated quilter. By any other criteria, I am not. I don't mind piecing, but I don't especially enjoy it either. I HATE to quilt. Which is why I have a large bin full of unquilted tops. But I like the finished products, so that is why I do it. I really enjoy the process of genealogy more than quilting, and switch back and forth.
