I swear, the more I read your posts, the more I doubt that you have
actually piloted an aircraft in the last 10 years.

GPS has changed *everything* about flying -- and clinging to the old
VOR system is just another example of calcified thinking.

READ a post in the last 10 years.

Once again, you have demonstrated your amazing ability to both miss the
point and be insulting all at the same time.

Where in my post did I say anything about USING a VOR? My point is that
even those of you who use GPS as your primary navigation have a
responsibility to be aware of any VOR that is near enough to your route to
be relevant to your operation along that route.

The same thing is true of any landmark. The question of whether flying by
VORs is antiquated or not is irrelevant, as is the question of how you
personally are navigating. All that matters is that it's a major landmark
that can easily be expected to be referenced by any number of other pilots
operating in the same airspace as you.

It seems like people who are flying with GPSs assume that the rest of the
world just disappears, and all they need to care about is the waypoints they
enter in their GPS. That's just not true.
