Yep, I never intended to make it sound like using a capo was bad or that the person who did so was "less" of a guitarist.

My thoughts on capos are similar. They have a purpose. Yeah they can be used to make songs easier to play on the guitar, and I can't count the times I have done that, but my main use for a capo is to get a totally different sonic feel and tone from the guitar.
