Exactly my experience! This is especially true for people who are into street photography. I've come full circle and I find myself looking for the sharpest picture across the whole frame. Aesthetics aside, I think the reason we reach out for bokeh first is that it's an easy way to isolate subjects and obscure clutter. That gives your photography an instant boost. A lot easier than using composition, timing, and relying on luck.
