So do you hand hold it ? Do you feel the VR helps you out on that ?

don't just talk about the lens being the end all.....
a 70-200 isn't "heavy"... it really isn't.. I shoot with it all the time.. but also with my 24-70. Now my 300mm, that has a little bulk to it. Used a guy's 600 once... DAMN!!!.
But.. to avoid blur and shake.. you have so many options to assist you.. one being your ISO (another is an IS lens).... kick it up if you need some more shutter speed (a shot at f3.5, ISO 100 and 1/30, is very similar to one at f3.5, ISO 200 and 1/125). Remember that photographic triangle that affects your proper exposure (f-stop, shutter speed, ISO)
Unless FTV-Rob (or anyone else for that matter) is handing you the RAW data on his pics, you never know how they were shot. And as he uses a lot of natural light, and even indoors at that.. that translates to higher ISOs (say 200, 400, 800 perhaps???).. unless of course he is handholding at ISO100 with a 200mm lens racked in at f2.8 and 1/15 (now there's a chance for blur).
A lens is about depth of field and the clarity of the glass. I use my "L" lenses because they provide for cleaner images, and yes, you can tell against non "L" lenses. Also, at 2.8, I have the ability to soften an image even more with a shallow depth of field. Hell, we even have a f1.2 lens... it's like focusing on a mosquito and it's ass is blurred when you are at the shallowest focus point. Can make for cool effects.
I don't believe photographers that say they don't edit their shots at all.. its just BS. You might not do the lovely Gaussian Blur that so many people love (I hate it... I don't use it.. much better tools out there), but can't convince me that you don't do anything. What's the point of shooting digitally if you can't use the tools at hand? Come on.. you can tell me.... it will be our little secret!
