I'm not sold on the whole "code quality" vs "getting things done" mentality here.

I think there are diminishing returns in reducing technical debt and keeping a high quality codebase, but the point of doing it that you can maintain a sustained, relatively high "getting things done" rate over the project's lifetime. There are times where you should implement something in a quick and easy way, but if code is going to be present and important for a long time then going the extra mile usually pays off.

Based on above, I don't think the dichotomy you pose is applicable in this comparative case.

Some of this reminded me of the discussions about logic-less templates and proponents/opponents of that philosophy.
