Is something inherently better about Modern that other styles? If so what is it? The ability to distinguish the subtle qualities of that question is significant.

I would argue that 'styles' themselves are the problem. I prefer the language of modernism as well, but is it dangerous when it becomes just another language of architecture, not a way of thinking that loads to a particular way of making.
