I think the only positive thing we can say here is that there are different ways to accomplish the same task. Some ppl obviously prefer Mnaaged modes, and others prefer selected modes. I think we all need to remember to be respectful of the other's opinions. We must be open to using ALL modes available, and not be too biased towards one, as they all have their uses in different situations. It doesn't seem to make sense to always aim to use one particular mode. Just use the easiest and most efficient mode.
