What was emphasized in the lecture regarding group management in Houdini using modern approaches?
The power and flexibility of using attributes for group management
How can integer attributes be converted to string types for use as names in group-like operations?
Using 'i@name' attribute and 'itoa()' function
How does the Connectivity Node replace the partition node in Houdini?
By generating a class attribute for object connectivity
How does the shift from the Partition Node to attribute-based group management enhance efficiency in workflow?
By providing more direct control over grouping mechanics through attribute manipulation
How can complex group management in Houdini be achieved?
By incorporating nodes like Group From Name and Group by Range for specific elements
