I totally agree, an artist is not refined by the tools they use, and a good artist will always produce good work as long as he or she uses the tools they're familiar with. And vice versa, there's a lot of crappy art out there on the full spectrum of the toolbox.
I can only imagine that one of the most celebrated artists and innovators of all times, Leonardo da Vinci, would have embraced the digital technology with it's infinite possibilities.
