I'm beginning to see this too.  However, judging by the longevity of C, unix, windows, x86, html, php, etc... 'Worse' apparently really is 'Better'.  And this will not affect Bitcoin's survival.  It will however cause much grief and pain to everyone involved along the way.

What 'worse' has going for it is 'fast and easy', which is why it's successful.  We'd have had to wait another decade for a 'better' Bitcoin.  So we make due with what we have, and it entrenches itself (and we suffer later).
