I think it depends on the way your brain works. Some people prefer tables full of numbers, other prefer data visualizations. Some people prefer compact, tight code with lots of symbols. Others prefer spatially organized code. While there are probably people on the extremes and people in the middle. My observations have found lots of people generally fall into two main camps. A number/symbol/dense data aesthetic group, and a visual/spatial group. Left-Right brain? I don't know. Neither is better or worse. It just depends on who you are and who you are working with.
