BS.
Most of us have no idea what gear most of the top mix engineers are using on any given song these days. How would anyone compare two mixes by different artists and say one sounded better purely because of the compression?
Quite a few records are mixed in the box these days too.
I'm far from saying plug-ins are best. I'm just saying they are another tool in the kitbag.
I don't use plug-ins much, but to say they are all inferior seems crazy to me.
