Why I stopped judging bread by its crust after that Portland bakery visit

I spent 15 years chasing dark, crackly crusts, but watching a baker in Portland pull a pale, soft-crumbed loaf that sold out in an hour convinced me the interior crumb and flavor matter more, so now I focus on hydration and fermentation instead of oven spring, anyone else rethink their priority list after a tasting?
