What is more important to you? We've all seen ugly stuff that works, and gorgeous stuff that wont.

In general, which is it?

Get both?

When I can't get both, I go for function over form.  Don't care if it's ugly if it works.

When I can get both, FORM

Function. But I have weird preferences about form.

Function over form, but form follows function.

Most of my guns fall into the "Ugly, but work great" category.

It's better to look good than to feel good.  You look mahvelous!

Function over form, when it comes to a piece that is necessary. I'll take something that's reliable over something pretty any day.



But, if it's not a necessity (ie. a toy) than by all means look at form. Nothing wrong with looking pretty, after all.

a pretty vag works the same as an ugly vag, but I'll take the pretty vag every time.

If you cant look cool doing something why do it? Really though function is what its all about.

Form follows function: this isn't an ordering or prioritizing the way some people think.  It means things that work well generally end up looking good.  In essence, good form comes from good function.

The X-32 is an indirect proof.
