Hehe, that's what I thought.
Eero: my way of dealing with strobes and metering: strobist.com. Maybe if I did nothing but studio work I would think differently, but I don't have and don't want a studio.
My way of dealing with backlighting: you said it: spot metering. Bringing a light meter close to your subject is very similar to using spot metering through the lens. Why bother: unsure about exposure? check the LCD and adjust. Voilą.
The matrix metering is indeed not as good as it was in the past (which I find really strange) mostly because it's not as predictable. Maybe Nikon will do a firmware update (or downdate?) to give us back the D70 or D50 matrix metering? But even with a good matrix system I was usually using spot.
