I get what you are saying, kinda like the manual vs, auto argument. Modern auto's are faster, auto blip can be better. I'd just prefer to develop the ability to do something rather then rely on it be done for me and not be able to do it if I am in a car without that feature.

It doesn't. Don't misconstrued what I say either. I called it a crutch for those who haven't learned to do it properly
yet. Learning to heel toe isn't a requirement, it is just a good skill to have and something you should learn to do. If you can't, or don't want to, then don't
If that makes me an elitist, then I am an elitist I guess.
