The main advantages of getting the photo right "in camera" are that it saves time on post-processing and that some qualities (eg. sharp focus) are difficult to apply convincingly at a later stage.
However, when you think of the amount of time and skill a film photographer would invest in their darkroom, I think post-processing can't really be called "untraditional"; if anything, photography used to involve much more work after the shutter was pressed.
