What you guys are complaining about isnt exactly CGI, because CGI is extremely hard and time consuming to create compared to what most companies do. You guys are complaining about After Effects, which is psuedo CGI.

No. I'm complaining about all CGI. I prefer the look of mattes and models as it displays more artistry and ingenuity. I can appreciate the technical work that went into CGI-laden movies like Avatar or Jurassic Park, but they do not have the artistic depth of Blade Runner or 2001. Ditto with animation: Pixar films apear only superficially beautiful until you compare them to most hand-drawn animation, especially to the animated work of independent auteurs. Whether CGI looks real or fake doesn't make a difference.
