There’s a similar divide in the woodworking community between people that use CNC and the like to mill and shape wood vs those that use hand and power tools.

Isn't the question really about what you can get paid for, have as your job?

People want to keep doing what they enjoy as their fulltime profession, making a (good) living out of it. Perfectly understandable. But neither AI, powertools or image generation is preventing someone from doing craft coding, hand woodworking or drawing/painting in their spare time and enjoying it.

I love drawing but since it went out of business as a viable career long before I was born I have never felt the grief of losing it. With craft coding we happen to exist at the point in time where it suddenly gets significantly de-crafted.
