I completely agree that bricks have there own place and can be very useful,
but I do believe the style of rounded beams and liftarms are a better means
for technical modeling then the Technic brick. I still use bricks in all of
my models, but with newer pieces they aren't needed as much.

I think studs really dont help. With the very first brick used, your are
predetermining parts of structure which you haven't even built. Studs are
male/female so when use start using bricks, all the bricks used thereafter
already have there orientations decided. This can cause problems, this is
why people are always requesting stud reversing parts. Beams dont have this
problem.
Just my 2 cents
