Give me a break Bruce there are always exceptions. A tripod is still the photographers best friend unless you like blurry pics..
IS/VR is developed to overcome this to certain degree. It doesn't replace tripod completely, but when you need that extra stops which aren't there, IS/VR is your best friend.
