While it is true that soft subs are all the rage these days, I say about 80-90% of fansub groups out there also hardsub onto their encodes while softsubbing at the same time. All of the fancy karaoke effects you see are hardsubbed, and most of the sign typesetting are also hardsubbed. Pretty much he only group which consistently do full softsubbing (no hardsub) is gg (Coalguys I think sometimes too).

Anyway, most of the the AFX and/or photoshop stuff you see is for the karaoke, logo and sign typesetting. Noone ever typesets dialogue with AFX - that's almost as bad as typesetting with avisynth (before anyone asks, yes you can).  EDIT: Actually, full AFX typesetting would take way more effort than full avisynth typeseting. So even worse.

Lol, if I knew enough programming, it'll be interesting to code something to convert srt subs to avisynth. Should be pretty easy. Sensei, you're trying to learn to program right? Go do that.
