I view the negativity as "purism" on the part of those who view it is not being truly hand-crafting. It's not necessity contempt as much as much as what others will allow in the process and call it hand-crafted.
For my part, a truly hand-crafted guitar means one that was built using rudimentary tools only no matter who did the neck, bracing, top, etc.
Somebody still has to spray that finish on using a compressor and a gun, but that somebody is still doing it by hand and that is a human skill set.
