Maybe after a lifetime of it you start to appreciate the simplicity of bolted routes but anyone that truly loves the mountains will be drawn to the big traditional lines our continent offers, just as you were 
But he is right ;p. If every crag i went to was bolted (and none are).. why would i waste my time placing gear?.. it takes out the fun of just climbing.
It slows your sends down by at least half. I climb to climb ;p not make anchors.
OP, not trying to bring you down, glad you enjoyed it. Have fun.
