GPS is ruining pilots, FADEC is runing pilots, autopilots are runing pilots, flight directors are ruining pilots, etc. I guess when instrument approaches changed from range approaches to NDB approaches there were pilot complaining about pilots who didn't want to fly ranges anymore.

If we have a way of reducing workloads we are safer. Obviously we have to be capable of using all sources of navigation and automation available to us. The automation doesn't ruin us, our laziness and inability to use all tools availalbe to us is the very thing that ruins us.
