TBH I like both. There's a need for food writing and story telling, and a need to cut through the fluff and get to the main, precise result you need to know. I oscillate between adoring good writing and adoring Erdos' 3-page papers that get straight to the point.
The same paper should have both: an introductory section that lays out the intuition (possibly via special cases), and the main technical body which provides the terse technical details.
