Eh, that really comes down to applied theory vs. pure theory. There's no one Grand Unifying Theory of Natural Language Processing, and not likely to be a strong candidate for a while yet. Until then, there can still be a lot of good problem-solving that can be used with either traditional NLP or with neural networks, or even a hacked-together hybrid approach, and both application and research will feed into each other to refine the processes.
