I agree with this sentiment completely. I do consider "the reason for craft" (which is a joy in itself) to be separate from the "bonus reward" of being able to discuss it with other craftsmen.

... and the latter often ends up surfacing even more challenging/interesting ideas to work on for both sides, which is a huge win.
