Well. I'm not english native, I think I mean precision. :) For me great writing is to convey a specific thought succinctly. A lot of the writers mentioned here aren't expressing something radically new like Plato or Descartes, but rather taking a small step describing nuances from a previous thought – hence precision. Also, like computer science, I believe the field is entitled to a language describing concepts that aren't directly available without further studies.
