Hm. I can see a difference in mediums, but imho that doesn't render 'traditional' art any more artsy than digital one... this is like saying that pastels is more artsy than watercolor is more artsy than photography. Photomanipulation - I do agree that there are some people who produce unimpressive results, but in general (and this probably is what you call "good") it is a lot more than merely painting over stock images. As for people looking like plastic - no, I don't like that particular style either, but it's just that, a style. Again, no more and no less artsy than the rest.
