Amen to this.  For some things hand tools are clearly superior, for some I 
find power tools superior.  Sometimes I use the hand tools just to learn. 
 
My goals are not always the same.  If I am building something for the wife 
and she wants it NOW I use the quicker method.  If I am building for me or 
for learning I will use the fun method.
