Ahhh...This could be a subject of passionate discussion from both sides, but to me the way I see things it's simple: Art is the ability to create something unique, could be a drawing, 3D, manip or sculpture... or even any other form of art. And why be stucked on only these? I'm sure there's a lot of talented people out there that are genius at what they do, doens't that might be considered art as well? Or fan fiction (writing) for that matter?
As for digital arts and that's the subject here, I have to agree with PC about the computer being only another tool... Heck, I've tried 3D and I know I can't match his beautiful artwork no matter how much I try or what kind of program or models I have. 
And that goes to manips too, I make some fairly good images now, but I can't be on the same level of Bio or chilly or any of the genius...
So, in my opinion it's the person talents that are important in the creation of a masterpiece of art, not what medium they use to achieve their vision.
If you don't belive me, give it a try and make a 3D piece like PC or Hawk or Tart or make a manip like Bio or JR... then you understand what I mean.
You need hard work and practice with every new piece you try to make to improve yourself, and as penciller too I can say that happens if you draw something in a piece of paper too... Of course, here I agree that having better materials will make your drawings look better BUT you gotta have the talent.
Now I love all in all kinds of art out there, so I'm not saying that an artist must do beautifull pieces, we all know some artists have their own style that works for them and you liked or not, even the less talented can produce art that can be appealing to someone. What I'm saying is that every person that dream and have a vision can try to make it real using whatever tools they have at their disposal and called it Art.
One more question about digital art: the pros that color comics and such with computer programs aren't they artists as well?
Anyways, to me the most important about art is you gotta have fun doing it and make it for yourself.
