I don't think so. Over time you'll need both. I use zooms for changing photographic situations - people moving or when I am moving (e.i. on a boat) or on the go. Primes for best possible results, when there's time and opertunity to go to the right place with the right lens. Of course that depends on what you photograph. Anyway, some photographic chalenges may take you to the limits of what is technically possible. That's a time for a prime.
