Let me play devils advocate here for a second.

I have seen a lot of videos of Jonathan Blow. IIRC he created his own programming language to code in. That could be interpreted as pretty "nerdically sound" and "perfectionist" by many.

My point is, I agree with what you said in spirit, but the way you phrased it could be used to justify spaguetti code, too much technical debt and, ironically, fashion-based decisions (we need to just make it work, lets choose x).
