One of the things I dislike about using my digital "compose on a tiny LCD" or "viewfinder like looking through a paper towel roll" camera is that by using it I feel like I'm throwing out that discipline of getting right in the camera. My goal instead is get something workable, not something special. Methodical gives way to fast and cheap. Probably perception that's part myth on my part. But it has me back to using only my Leicas.
