Sounds more like you may not know how GPS works.  VOR approaches are going away, and very quickly.  Why don't you focus your efforts on showing us all how it's done to improving the understanding of GPS to the pilots you train and check?  I am not sure why you think spinning a knob is more noble and takes more skill than pressing a button, becuase it is not just pressing a button, it's pressing the right button.  Do you know how to check RAIM, verify RNP, make VNAV corrections for temperature, or what a PRN is?  Those are all ways to help determine or improve determ of your postion.  All can do with a VOR is check it's Morse code and look at the TO-FROM flag.  It's pretty simplistic and inaccurate.
