I don't think less of anybody who gets the work done.
What I was being flip and dismissive about were the people who Mary Sue creativity, wherein the subtext of "my characters are real people and talk to me" is "I am so Special! And my writing involves no craft! And therefore I do not have anything to learn!" I apologize for not making that distinction clear and will try to be careful in future about the cans of worms I open in parenthetical statements.
