Informal Poll: Current generation of modelers, competent?

As the last post said, it depends on your definition of competent. I would say that there are as many competent modellers now as there have ever been. What I have noticed is a seeming reluctance (at least in the UK) of older modellers to use the new techniques and equipment. For example, there seem to be very few takers (at least in magazine articles) for the new close coupling systems which to my mind make a massive improvement in appearance. I've seen one article about creating an express passenger train for a large exhibition layout where the modeller acknowledged the existence of this equipment and went on to say that they hadn't tried it!
