I say, the more fingers you are able to use, the more versatile of a player you can become. I've always been a finger player. Until recently, I never used a pick. But I wrote a song part that just cuts through a lot better with a pick, so I keep one stuck on the bass that I use for that song.
I still can't really use my plucking hand's pinkie finger.
