I am also a fan of the .30-'06, but I am biased because my Grandfather (WWII) still acts like it's the only rifle cartridge ever invented! And my Dad was a fan before his passing, and I too have been teaching my son that the '06 will do anything you need from a rifle in N. America.
I have nothing against the .270, I just think the '06 does everything it can do and then some. I also find that in my circle of friends and hunting acquaintances, the folks who "preach-up" the .270 also seem to not be very fond of recoil - not that there is anything wrong with that.
Here is an article by Craig Boddington from a few years back that I think describes the '06 well.
