Not really, because every tool, format, approach, etc. has drawbacks. If I were left to use digital if and only when it was suitable, there would be no problem. Though, I see where you are going, such as I could say "What I hate about 4x5" is the cost, size and weight of the equipment, and so on. Except I don't think I have ever been "forced" to shoot 4x5 when it wasn't suitable. That's really where I'm coming from in my "Hate" section for digital.
I guess I just don't tend to "Hate" the inherent limitations of any approach, so long as I am permitted, as the professional, to go a different way when thhey are a problem. The climate of digital typically does not allow me to do that.
I'll respond to the "learning" part later. I'd rather be watching football right now.
