> I think camp 2 would rather see one beautiful thing than ten useful things.

Unashamedly, I would, but this is a false dilemma. We can have ten beautiful and useful things.

The thing that drives the camp 2 folk crazy is that often it would have taken no extra effort (or perhaps even less effort overall) to make a good version of the thing but the people who made thing simply couldn't be bothered.

The attitude you're describing here has led directly to our world being full of profoundly disappointing objects that proliferate because they meet a minimum bar of usefulness.

People don't like the minimum bar. They'll take it if it's the only thing on offer, but they like better things.

>the people who made thing simply couldn't be bothered.

There is nothing I despise more than someone who doesn't care.

I remember reviewing code once, a C++ class that allocates new objects on the heap, but was lacking cleanup code to delete these objects.

"It doesn't matter if the memory leaks. Those methods rarely get called."

And he was right, during the lifetime of the application it would've likely leaked only kilobytes worth of memory. But it would've taken very little effort to write cleanup code.

I believe those that take no pride in their work will never amount for anything more than mediocrity.
