Everyone has their preference of how to spend their time. I use my electronic machine to do piecing and quilting. I have no interest in a long-arm machine or in quilt design software but I can see that other people want those things.
My grandmother did not like to sew and thought it was odd that I would make a quilt when I could afford to go to the store and buy a blanket. She had lived through having to do everything by hand and didn't want to go back.
My mother did a lot of crochet. My engineering-minded father would sit there and say "I could build you a machine that would do that faster". She had to keep telling him that was not the point. On the other hand he didn't understand why he should consider a new lawnmower when he could rebuild the one he had used for 50 years.
