Rule 12: Reserve time for "fit and finish"!
To deliver high-quality fit and finish, schedule time to attend to UI details, including visual clean-up at the pixel level and layout corrections (alignment, spacing). Visual "fit and finish" is as important as standard bug fixing and other types of quality control.
Perception is reality, and if your customers don't experience quality in your product throughout, they may conclude there is lack of quality everywhere. A visual bug seen by all your customers might do more damage to your program's reputation than a rarely occurring crashing bug.
Do you agree? I don't.
