I would tend to agree with you, except these features are
"quality of life" features which not only make our jobs easier
in high-pressure, rapidly changing environments (when you can't
always think), but is part of the standard feature set of what
is now considered to be a professional camera. Even though the
'80s state-of-the-art may be good enough for your shooting
style, what it does is limit ourselves to just that shooting
style. There are times when I am very thankful for these
additional features of my IS-3 and long for them in an OM body.
