I don't blame you for taking the path of least resistance, and of course
you should never innovate for the sake of it. But innovate with good
reasons for doing so, on the other hand, and you'll get the acceptance
you need.

Which is far easier said than done, obviously. I can't help thinking
that if more people tried this we'd have rather more good design and
less "design pattern" lazy rubbish out there. Sometimes though, I think
that I might just have to accept that things can simply be "good enough"
and leave them at that. 

Pragmatism. Eugh.
