Default To till, or not to till, that is the question

I am noticing a no till current starting to circulate on the internet, more and more people are recommending a no till approach to gardening. Growing up we always plowed/tilled the soil, it just seems counter-intuitive that not
turning the soil would produce just as good results. And yet, university studies on corn have shown that no till produces yields at least as good, if not better.I know a lot of you live in agricultural areas and are seeing this unfold first-hand, what is your take on this as it relates to gardening? Should we take our Brinly plows to the scrap heap?
