No i do not think you were being rude at all... its a valid comment.
I always try to avoid gimmicks, and I strive to find the most appropriate solution for every problem rather than following trends. If i am designing for an audience who predominately interact with touch screens, on something that isn't, I wander if that is removing myself from the problems i hope to solve? It is the opposite to being excited by the surface... I love the work set up that I have. Its more that I want to make sure I am not falling behind an industry that maybe evolving.
