To the bigger point, I never really use them for recording vocals, usually a LDC with a little distance but that doesn't mean I wouldn't use a 57/58 if it fit the track. I do still use them on drums and some guitar stuff and so on.
There are just as many engineers who say that they could record a whole album with '57's... probably more (though none of them have, which might say something about those statements ).

I don't have any problem with using them for vocals, or horns or anything really...
