Appreciate your point but this is a false dichotomy - (to me, at least) there's beauty in function. In fact, it's sort of the only non-subjective aesthetic. Code like the Linux kernel isn't necessarily all beautiful in terms of overwrought abstractions, but I find quite beautiful the accretion of small changes and thought over time that has made it suited to task.
