I've got a t-shirt that says "Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't." The point being you have to keep up with technology.
What counts is the finished product, whatever means you use to achieve it.
That said, it is better to do as much in the camera as possible. Excessive croposition can turn your ten megapixel camera into a five megapixel camera. (substitute whatever numbers suit you better) You lose some resolution in croposition.
I'd also credit composition with requiring more pre-thinking. After you leave the scene, you can't go back and alter the angle, etc. In that respect croposition is more limited than composition.
