As a counter point, I loved all of those specialized sets as a kid -- Blacktron and M-Tron were especially awesome. Plain rectangular bricks can be boring and need some custom pieces to spice things up.

I'd say it takes a different kind of creativity. One is not necessarily better than the other, they're just different. If you got bored with plain blocks and had to "spice things up" with custom pieces, it means you had plenty of plain blocks at your disposal. That's how I like my Lego sets, too. A large number of plain blocks with a few custom blocks here and there. Not custom blocks galore like some of the newer sets tend to be.
