This might be classic "that's not a bug, it's a feature", territory.

I love the idea that somebody could just get something working - it is fantastic that was possible, and a shame that we've lost it a bit.

The fact that a professional might look at the code produced and die a little inside is where a lot of bad rep comes from, but hey, working software is better than no software, particularly in the days when that software probably is running on a single machine that is not connected to the internet, and when it is, it's only connected a couple of hours a day via dial-up modem.
