Creativity (Score 1)

You know, I often find that the coolest and most brilliant snippets of code come from momentary flashes of genius (or insanity). Working with more restraints really does squash creativity in the way things are done. Different people have different agendas, and a committee who doesn't see the brilliance in one person's work can throw it out altogether or ruin it completely by trying to do things with it other than were originally intended.
