I've heard this a lot talking to old school photographers who have been doing this for a long time. They learned in a jacket BC (or horse collar, so the jacket was a huge improvement), developed a style that worked well for them, and do not want to change anything.

That's their right.

But it doesn't mean they're right. It means a new piece of gear feel odd compared to the gear they've been diving for 20-30 years, so they don't like it. It doesn't mean they gave it a fair shake and really took the time to learn the little tricks that each piece of gear needs to use it to it's full effectiveness.
