Are Plug-Ins And Filters Bad? f/54

I was listening to another photography podcast and the host was answering a listener question. A listener asked if this photographer used plug-ins in their post-processing workflow. The reply was “No,” because using plug-ins deviates from a creative lifestyle.

I think this answer completely misses the mark. Is it the plug-in that’s bad? Or how the photographer chooses to use a plug-in? I have some thoughts about this topic in today’s Stop Down Podcast. And yes, I use plug-ins!
