Are there drawbacks to using a Push-Button reel?

I have been using my friends old spinning rods and it was kind of
crappy. The spinning was kind of rusty and I had to stretch my finger
out and change my grip every time I had to cast out. I tried a push
button rod/reel the other day and it seemed really convenient. I like
how it is really easy and how the little hook acts like a pistol grip.
Do people usually frown uppon these? I know in snowboarding, that
people always recommend against using click-in bindings because they
don't offer the kind of control that is found on normal strap-in
bindings. I myself would NEVER use click-in bindings. Is this how push
button reels are looked at in fishing?
