It's our hobby and GoTo is just a means to an end. I personally like to hunt and star hop to objects but don't think I'm any better than the guy with GoTo for doing it.
"How much power is it? How big is it? Do you have your Messier/Herschel/Doubles/Lunar Club certificate? (These are a personal pet peeve of mine) Judging our "astronomical manhood" doesn't mean anything and is a waste of time. I hunt and look at objects because I enjoy doing it and that's all that matters.
Besides, 20 years from now the GoTo guys will be saying, "Well, when I started I only had 15,000 objects in MY database!"
