This has happened before with introduction of new technology, and will continue to happen in the future. Animators in the 80s and 90s probably felt the same way when computers were becoming more common place in animation studios. But the artists learned to utilized the new tools they worked with, or they fell off and stuck to their old ways, unable to keep up with the artists that adapted to the new tools. And new animation tools and technology has led to some truly incredible works of animation, that would have been simply too difficult or far too expensive to animate entirely be hand.
There's nothing wrong with old animation, by the way. I actually personally prefer it to the newer stuff thats just too clean and sterile IMO. And likely it will be that way with others. Some people will continue to like the stuff made "the old fashioned way," and others will like the new direction. Growing pains aren't called pains for no reason.
Except 3d rendering didn't steal thousands of refferences from unwilling artists to exist. There are huge ethical implications with that, especially worrying to the artists.
