I don't think people should put others down for not using it, but certainly bragging about it is valid! Give the realism chaps a break, too. As said before, they put in that much more work into their kills, so they sure have the bragging rights for doing it.
Personally, I don't see a point in not using manual targeting anyway. I don't, but I rarely use TDC also - I just put myself in positions where I can make manually-aimed snapshots and be sure that most of my fish hit. And for the occasional shot, the TDC isn't horribly hard to program. I would also prefer to have a WO helping me with solutions, but only if his solutions had a less-than-laserlike accuracy. For me it takes the fun out of the best part of the game, knowing that I won't miss when it comes down to it. It's sorta like flying a flight sim and letting the autopilot do the landing for me :p
