You feel something, you know there is something special, but you don't know what it is. May it be nostalgia, emotion, or just a magic touch of their creator. There are a lot of these. In fact all groups that have their own image. I prefer to think of designers instead of coders.
Coders are mathematicians, designers are artists.
Everybody who make things for their own well being and not only to get admired, is a good coder. I can't remember. Some persons made just one or a few good tunes and a lot of rubbish. SIT and BOB were the first real magicians in making graphics. Nowerdays I just admire those who make their own paintings.
