I don't use old lenses just because I don't do manual focus. So, it is modern lenses for me, but certainly there are amazing results turned out by older lenses.
There are some things that have really improved over the years. For one thing, newer zooms are better, both straight of camera and with the availability of correction features that fix distortion and vignetting. The other thing is that coatings have improved quite a bit. Pentax has always had good lens coatings, but they really have reached a pretty high level now. Also, there aren't many old wide or ultra wide angles out there and what there are pretty expensive.
That said, I don't see most people bashing older lenses. You just have to be honest if you are willing to go through the trouble of manual focusing and maybe stop down metering. If you are, then there is some amazing glass (and deals) out there waiting for you.
