Of course this site has it's favorites just like any other thing in the world. But IMHO what sometimes gets out of whack on this site is the ability to distinguish idealism from realism. Most every work discussed on this site is what I would place under the idealistic. And I compliment any architect that has reached the idealistic level.
And yet there is realistic side of golf architecture (as with any form of architecture) having to work with clients that have small constrcution budgets, small maintenance budgets. Yes, I admire and enjoy discussing sites in the middle of Nebraska or on the perfect piece of land or those being developed with an unlimited advertising budget, but those are few.
There are a lot of good golf courses out there that you will never see discussed here. for most of us we have to design and build a golf course that will make money based on a much smaller green fee than what is discussed here. I guess I am saying its alot like cars, there are a lot of good camrys out there but no discussion groups or fan clubs like the Corvettes have. And there is nothing wrong with either. So we can all have our favorites whether it be TD or JN or RJ or EP. Some will garner more discussion than others but the majority of the game is being played on courses by architects that will never be discussed. So just keep discussing.
