I agree. I believe that a computer can never truely replace a
pen or the pencil or even design. But it is an important tool
for architect to use. Drawing with a computer probably takes
more time to do the drawings but you save time in revision
drawings. A client said he wants to put in an extra 2000 sq.
ft. You don't have to redraw everything.
