Forgive me if I am missing something obvious here, but it is possible to use
the holes in studless beams and liftarms to clip directly onto studs in
bricks and so on. Believe it or not I have actually used this for a proper
application too ;-)
I do agree that substantial supplies of traditional bricks are often
necessary as well, especially if you want to go for a Model Team style look
for your technic creations. I do think that the new style stuff can make
superb appearing models too however; for example the following creations
using a mix of old and new bricks by Fredrik Glockner; the latter seems to
use (almost) exclusively new bricks:

I suppose it is a matter of perspective - when I showed a friend the 8448
supercar he said it was a poor model since it had so many special (read new
style) parts; I thought it was totally superb, partly for that reason!
