Francois,

Yes.

In my world view, "quick & dirty" is synonymous with inherent inability 
to scale across quality vectors such as:
1. Integration use-case complexity
2. Data volume growth
3. Concurrent usage growth
4. Deployment target growth


When encounter "quick & dirty" associated with anything in the  
technology realm, the items above send off deafening alarm bells in my 
head :-)
