The developers I know are definitely opinion oriented. DIC, patterns, which NoSQL data store, whether this controller/view is logic-free enough; the list goes on. Like design, there are definite development trends: some based on data and a lot based on emotion and feeling/herd mentality. "World class" to me means the top 5-10 in the world, so is hardly worth talking about. I do believe you can easily be a good designer and 'X', where X may be Web developer, Systems Architect or PM. Even a programmer - occasionally.
