I would agree but I am adding the people that pay for the coders work into this equation ("managers"), and they need function in time. Some (most?) of them seem to consider the design decisions the coders problem. It's in the coders interest to make the code easily expandable, integrable, reusable, readable, to make the coders life easier, to allow them to easily meet the business goals.
Of course every programmer would like to make the best design, but sometimes there's no time for it, and that's when slow/fast/experiensed characteristics come into play
