Completely agree!

Well, that depends on what you think "particles" entails. To most 
physicists these days that translates into a quantum field, which is 
much, much different than the classical notion of a particle.

But to your earlier comment, the faith in a model is directly tied to 
how well it matches between expected and observed experimental results. 
And on that front, the standard model of quantum fields is spectacularly 
successful. There have been some quantities where the match is down to 
the 12th decimal place, which is just about unprecedented anywhere else.

I don't think physicists are going from QM to GR. Usually, they are 
going from GR to QM (or more accurately, to QFT).
