CGI vs. Make-up artist

Note: If this is in the wrong section, please feel free to movie it. As I felt this was the best section since it pertains more to the subject.

Process has been ever decreasing in the big films as of recent, especially in the transformations side of it. And the rise of CGI is ever increasing. And with that comes it's pros and cons.

Pros including the fact that CGI permits much more detailed psuedo-realistic process. Also not to forget that it could allow for much smoother transitions unlike the choppy, spontaneous, stage-by-stage frame methods of earlier films (which despite this I'm sure most of you still appreciate). Then the cons, CGI, of course is cheaper than make-up, so does this mean that if there is process, will it be very short-lived? We can also include that unlike older films, the presence of CGI wouldn't seem as pertinent as the old make-up films did. Probably more notable to the older tf/process fans, the movie would seem more like a high-stance visual display rather than the classy generalization of a different universe with an odd, yet, unique side effect for lack of better terms.

So what are your thoughts? Is CGI an unending serpentine road that will lead us to the fall of process?

Or will it open a new perspective?
