Much as I'd love to claim exclusivity, there's been plenty of debate about it on various blogs. For example, Ian McDonald's lj, here.
It's like the New Puritan lit writers! But in the future!)
Or in the past ... I've got an ecletic selection of Vector back issues, and one of the ones from 1988 has two head-to-head articles by George Turner (then winner of the Clarke Award) and John Gribbin. To all intents and purposes, they're debating the merits of mundane sf. There is nothing new under the sun, it seems. We have the rights to reprint the articles so, again, when the website happens, we'll put them up.
