I agree with your thoughts about grad ND filters.

I used to think that all effects performed "in camera" were better than post processing, but a very talented pro graphics designer + hobbyist photographer friend of mine has thoroughly busted that idea for me.

Although my raw frames for landscapes are better than his (when I've compared them side-by-side), the magic that he pulls off on the computer is just stunning.

Murphy - are you sure that image you linked to was shot with a grad ND filter? If it was, you'd expect to see the star trails reduce in intensity as they approach the horizon (they don't), or you would expect to see a gradient across the taller buildings (there isn't).
