It's generally good advice... another example is why use c++ when a fraction of functional code will do the same.

On refactor though... sometimes it's not about 'prettier' it's about being able to be maintained.

I've learned that maintenance is way more important for most of my use cases. Most people aren't doing stuff that requires real-time processing so my assumption is that maintenance is more important for most others as well
