I think there is an unbalanced amount of effort and enthusiasm spent these days on development methodologies: agile, waterfall, what-have-you. I think the thing that makes or breaks a product is the customers; and customers don't care if your product is well made, they just care that it solves their problems. As long as you are moving forward (even if it is by inches) you are doing fine. A shipped working product that solves an important problem is better than a late unreleased one that tries to do everything.
