Many do not have Polemaster, and some see it as an un-neccesary expense. Sharpcap PA is probably more useful for many folks.
That said, old fashion drift alignment maybe a dying art, and retaining the skill is useful. Polar alignment might be spot on at the time done, but particularly if your gear is on a tripod, a bit of use can see the alignment shift as weight transfer on the legs causes compression settling. Drift can be useful for refinement.
