Every time someone tells me that a good set of knives is a reasonable
replacement for a food processor, I like to find out what kind of cooking
they do. True, deboning a chicken is MUCH easier with a good knife (even a
bad knife! -ED), but shredding cheese, slicing potatoes, and kneading bread
(especially kneading bread!) are MUCH easier with the food processor. To
tell you the truth, I own BOTH a food processor and a good set of knives,
and I use them as appropriate. If you don't do a lot of cooking where a
food processor saves you more time than it wastes (in added cleaning, etc)
then you don't need one. Otherwise, you can't live without it. Either way,
it isn't the food processor that is the deciding factor, it is your style
of cooking.

A good magician should always subscribe to the highest purposes, and
nothing should disuade him from these lofty goals, except, perhaps, that he
has to eat, and it is nice to put a little away for retirement.
