Sister told me my cinnamon rolls taste like bread dough and now I weigh everything, but is a scale really better than feel?

My sister grabbed a roll at Easter and said it tasted like plain bread dough, which stung because I had been baking them for 8 years using the same scoops and pinches. I bought a $25 kitchen scale the next week and the first batch was way better, but now I feel like I lost something by ditching the feel method my grandma used. So which side are you on, does weighing every gram of flour make you a better baker or does it just make you scared to trust your own hands?
