PS Plug-in (Use or not 2 use)

[ChittyBang]

Man here lately I've been messing around with alot of text in ps, & I now can say I see why yall say fuck plug-ins. All i used at one time was eye candy for text. But if you mess with different gradients & the tools in photo shop you can spit out some sicc text I'm impressed... I misplaced eye candy & a few other plug ins out of my adobe folder & im not even needing them now that ive messed around without them. I can create the same effects with a few simple adjustments. What's your all's opinions

Not all plugins are bad, some are just OVER USED to death and new kids think it's amazing.
