There is a difference between "knowing what the middle steps are" (which in most cases I agree the students should know) and actually wasting their time performing them.

They must know the middle steps in order to fully grasp the concepts that they are plugging into the computer. well in order for advancements in mathematics to be made, a student must know more than “press to solve.” They must know the middle steps in order to fully grasp the concepts that they are plugging into the computer.

It will eventually be a plus for him/her in the future.

Furthermore, if student were being trained to used the software(Matlab,Sb,mintab..etc) it just expand their arsenal of tool of problem solving.It look good on their resumes too Although, the in the middle step are critical ,softwares are great tool to aid student in their education.
