In regards to that article, it's always amusing when the obviously clueless talk like experts. ;) But, without digressing on that, and adding to your "oldschool" point, I think a lot of it has to do with resentment. I started with vinyl. I think it's generally easier for me to mix with. That's about my only real preference to it. But, for so many people that have taken it further, somewhere along the way, I've almost always found that a complaint is registered about "kids" not having to look hard for their "rare gems" while building up an equal or better music collection for cheap or, God forbid, free.
