I don't think that the Forth community is a community when it comes to
such questions. However, Forth is better for tinkering than some
other languages. IMO there are occasions for tinkering and occasions
for thinking things through. Of course, there are terms like
"prototyping" that are used instead of "tinkering" that have less of a
negative connotation.
