Just what I always wanted . . . . an expensive manual-focus Canon DSLR with the Leica name on it. Not! 
You need to hang out on the Alt gear forum and just see how bad Canon glass is. I'm embarrassed to admit I use L glass over there!
And how many of them are photographers vs IT guys?
What are you really trying to say? That if you want to save money (say, by getting a MF 135mm that is just as sharp as the canon 135mm for 1/10th of the price) you have to be an IT guy?  If you want special bokeh or special color rendition, you have to be an IT guy...?
No, there is nothing wrong with using alternative equipment. But what I believe he is saying is that some photographers become so obsessed with aspects of photographic technology (new or old, it doesn't matter) to enable the creation of perfectly beautiful yet boring images, they lose sight of the fundamental necessity for compelling content. Maybe it's just better to be technically ignorant and not get caught up in the endless quest for the perfect piece of equipment.
Well for me, as a poor student, the technical gurues here that tipped me about the rokkor 58 1.2, CZ jena 135 etc have made it possible to get great equipment that i can use to make great images. I see the problem with being too much into gear, but I think that L-heads are just as prone to that as alternatives
(on a second note, the "alternative images thread" is far better in quality than the "canon images" or "nikon images" thread imo... :P )
