There's been a lot of talk along these lines in recent threads. It is possible to work slowly and thoughtfully with 35mm without going through some sort of spiritual learning experience of being forced to slow down by MF or LF.

I would second that. After all does spending time and concentration coping with balky equipment _really_ have a lot to do with making a good picture. That equipment time can also be spent looking at the subject matter and thinking about the best way to put it in the frame. On the other side of the argument is the one that it is worthwhile just exploring the environment with a different way of looking. When I used a TLR I spent a lot of time just looking and framing before I took my first picture. Some ways of viewing just lend themselves to a less "snappy" approach.
