I love Orwell, he ranks as one of my favorite writers, especially his non-fiction. Unfortunately, I think too many writers take his famed writing advice as doctrine, and ignore the possibilies of a richer and more elaborate style.

In my opinion, Orwell had already wrestled with and composed a coherent philosophy. His writing style was a tool to articulate his philosophy and viewpoint.

Those who are still formulating their thoughts and putting it down on paper will come across as incoherent no matter which writing style they adopt.
