What do you think about post-processing softwares replacing filters?

I have read a lot of literature on this.

Some people think that software such as lightroom or PS can deal with sun glare or UV rays....

What are your thoughts on this?

I think some filters can be replaced.  While others such as 10 stop ND filters and polarized filters not the case.

Software cannot do everything. Though some try to believe in that. I will add as well that some color filters cannot be replaced because of how they affect the actual light that hits the image plane. You can somewhat duplicate the effect, but it is not the same.

If it's a helpful tool that improves my image, I'm all for it - regardless of whether it happens to be a physical filter or a software.
