It has to do with ego. Most programmers have this huge ego thinking that they are the smartest programmer around. It is rare to find a programmer that believes there code could be improved. They also believe that there way is the best way.
A solution to this is to apply simple checks to the code.
1. Does it function?
2. Is it readable?
3. Does it obey functional rules. IE (It does NOT over write memory or what not).
It the code passes these simple rules the code is fine, leave it alone, it does NOT suck.
This does not mean it could not be improved in some way. Open discussions in code reviews could enlighten every one. (Please leave your ego at the door).
