I used a Tamron 28-200 for a while, and produced some fine images with it. I stopped using it because it's got some awful CA, it's a little soft wide open, it's plain fucking huge, and well, the reasons go on.
Primes give me speed and quality. I don't like using primes that are slower than an equivalent zoom, which is why I don't have any f/2.8 Nikkor primes (excepting macro primes).
Flexibility is worth something, for sure. But then again, that's why I carry two bodies if I can, one with a 17-50 f/2.8 and one with an 80-200 f/2.8. That gives me flexibility and the utmost quality. And if I need the light, I can pop a fast prime on one of the bodies. Superzooms just aren't fast enough to be a solution to my problems.
