While I definitely admire hand manipulated quilting, computer quilting is not as easy as it may seem. I have done computer quilting in the past. I designed special patterns to fit the quilt and the personality of the recipient. It took quite a lot of time and skill to digitize those custom quilt designs. Then they have to be placed just so on the quilt. It's a different kind of skill, but should not be easily dismissed. I do think, though, that quilt shows should have separate designations for computer aided quilting... apples and oranges in the judging.
