it takes practice to strum with fingers

you can get different tones from both

neither is better...one is just harder to get a respectable sound from

I'm not doubting anyone's ability to play the notes, but to get it just right might be a little unreasonable. anyway, I've been playing for about 5 years and am more than adequate with a pick in my hand. a lotta of my stuff has been recommended that i play without a pick, some people say itll make my stuff a lot smoother, but i dun really know how. any advice on strumming, slapping, and such w/o a pick. any sights would be of help too. thanks a lot.
i have some insight... dont do it. if youre gonna strum use a pick. otherwise its too smuggly and in my experience is much more buzzy unless you use a flamenco strumming pattern
you suck at strumming then
you cannot possibly claim that you can strum as smoothly with your fingers as you can with a pick. every upstroke, even with experienced, accomplished, signed musicians, thats played with any semblence of speed either buzzes or does that thuddy muffled noise.

if he likes it then go for it, but he asked for my opinion, my opinion is i dont like it

two different styles. i'm not exactly sure why there would be buzzing. muffled sound can be made i guess for a style

lets put it this way, no matter what i play, and i refuse to use a pick, it doesn't sound like shit

edit: and when i say that i refuse to use a pick, that means i don't use one at all
