Isn't the point of TDD to create cleaner code that is robust enough for it's purpose? When the author says he is "more conservative" when using TDD; that seems to confirm that he is doing what works best rather than some kluge. Isn't that the point? Many comments have the theme of I loved TDD and then I stopped doing it when I didn't have to. That may have to with experience in the domain. TDD helps newbs (like me) cut down on mistakes while seasoned vets are able to work with more freedom.
