My dislike is related to the cliche nature of it. It's a modern-day
version of Cokin Filters.

Yes. Just about everything is possible in PS, but it looks PS. Optical
effects tend to be a little more "organic". I like the flaws and
imperfections that an optical solution presents. There is a slight
randomness that gives me something to look at. It's the photographic
equivalent of "brush strokes".
