Everyone is entitled to their opinion and choices. For me, smoke with steam is mandatory. I'm less "hard-over" for smoking diesels, it's not a deal-killer if an engine doesn't have smoke. When I run smoke with diesels, as a rule I run it on a low setting so you just have a realistic hint of smoke.
The exception is for Alco diesels, those need all the smoke you can make.
