The problem with thinking paper charts are still a good thing is usually ignorance (in the sense of exactly what they are and can do) of and lack of practice on electronic charting.
Thinking that electronic and paper charts are equivalent is usually a product of ignorance of man-machine interaction. Electronic charts will eventually get there perhaps, but not yet. Sure they are useable, but not ideal and lack several important attributes of paper and hand drawn charts (two distinct properties). The legal requirement to use electronic charts is driven by commercial shipping, and has little to do with recreational boating.
When was the last time gps went down? When was the last time you spilled coffee on your desk?
I have had GPS go down several times in the last 10 years. There are two reasons: interference or outage of satellite constellations (intentionally caused or otherwise), and electrical outages on the boat. There are some deep fjords in the PNW and Newfoundland where the view of the sky is insufficient to get a fix - of course you know about where you are then. If your boat is struck by lightening it can take out every single GPS receiver on board in a few milliseconds. Including your chartplotter displays. And no, putting your handheld in the oven may not save it.
One point of note. As you zoom out with a vector chart you loose data. This is not the case with a raster chart or paper chart. While not a case for paper over electronic it does mean that paper still has some back up value.
There are two distinct things: electronic display of charts (which includes electronic display of hand drawn raster charts) and display of vector charts, which might be printed or on an electronic display. A couple of years ago a highly experienced, highly paid professional racing crew ran a very expensive yacht onto a reef in the Indian ocean because they zoomed back and drew the route, and the reef was "decluttered" from the display. Several other yachts in the same race did the same thing, missing the reef only by chance.
That is user error of the equipment for sure, but brings me back to man-machine interface. A well designed interface makes mistakes less likely, and this is precisely what a skilled cartographer does on a hand drawn chart; while computers - to this day at least - do not. Important hazards are emphasized even on small scale charts so that they do not go unnoticed. That reef in the Indian ocean is small, but drawn in even on ocean scale hand drawn charts because of its importance.
Electronic display of paper (raster) charts has made their use more convenient as no paper shuffling is necessary and they are automatically stitched together. However fast you can pan and zoom a display though, my eyes can pan and zoom across a large paper chart 100x faster.
No one doubts that electronic vector charting is the future. But the future isn't quite here yet, unless you accept some compromise, and adapt accordingly.
