nothing wrong with using an 18-200 superzoom; I'm sure every manufacturer's 18-200 sells extremely well because it's a swiss army knife of a lens.
my wife resolutely shoots with the 18-200 since she hates the additional weight and fuss that comes with switching lenses. and that's a valid point; she is able to move faster than me and often manages to grab shots I simply have to spectate because I don't have the right lens on at the right moment. L glass is certainly not a cure-all, and I know plenty of people who are actually glad not to be carrying around red-striped equipment due to the weight savings (and cost savings!).
oh yeah, her 18-200 comes image stabilized, which neither my 16-35 nor 24-70 are ... so we actually end up pretty even in terms of keeper rates despite her slower glass
