Hard to believe anyone on this forum would say that, most seem to really love and promote the old glass. Of course that might be because we have so little new glass to brag about:) I don't think there is much of a divide, old versus new. Even those that have lots of new glass usually have some classic glass as well. My carry bag has DA 12-24, DA*16-50 and DA*60-250 in it and that's what I use when I am shooting seriously. For fun, I have a good set of Takumars that I love to play with.
I think there is more of a zoom versus prime divide. There is a strong tendency on this forum to recommend primes and especially limited primes to everyone who asks "what lens should I get?. Generally without any real thought about the needs of the person asking. Primes are wonderful, but I'm not sure we do a new photographer who states they want a good lens to take pictures of the kids with any good by recommending a bunch of primes. Primes are wonderful when your focus is on photography, when it is on getting pictures of your kids a good, a simple zoom does the job better.
