Imagine a piece of paper on which you could only write with finger paints. That's capacitive touchscreens.
The problem with the 'no resistive screens' thing is that there actually ARE times when a stylus is exactly the right way to do something. When you need precision. When you want to write or draw.
Now, if every capacitive screen came with a Wacom style pressure sensitive backing and a pen so you could use either fingers or pen - then I'd agree.
Until that day - there will always be a place for resistive - especially for more modern ones like Stanten's multitouch/pressure resistive technology.
