Then you should read the Dr. Dobb's Feb. article found here:

<I'll quote a bit>

Is Worse Better?

In many ways, Richard Gabriel's notion of "Worse Is Better" versus "The Right 
Thing" was the dominant theme of the workshop. In 1990, Gabriel wrote an 
essay (http://www.dreamsongs.com/WorseIsBetter.html) that described two 
approaches to software development. His thesis was that software should start 
small and evolve according to the needs of its users. Although the result 
might not be necessarily pretty, it has greater odds of surviving and even 
flourishing.
