You seem unconvinced due to your use of quotes. It's very hard to
evaluate this kind of thing, but obviously "developery" types are a
skewed source of information.
Believe me, I frequently design out approaches that I myself use because
they are quite simply the wrong approach and I refuse to let my own
personal habits get in the way of correct design.
This is why I give far less credence to "old habits" and "how it's been
done in the past" and much more to "what would my mum expect" or "what
would a novice computer user expect".
