Also, it’s kind of obvious that you and I would be biased on this issue.
When people complain that LDView or ldglite aren’t working right, all we can

T-junctions are a quality issue in part files. I don’t think they should be
strictly forbidden (that is, having T-junctions is not a reason to hold a part
file from official release). Generally, I wouldn’t even say that a part with
T-junctions needs a “(Needs Work)” tag. But I will encourage part authors to
avoid T-junctions. It is worth having a few more polygons to avoid the
rendering artifacts.
Sometimes, T-junctions can be avoided without any extra polygons -- it’s a
matter of knowing better ways to lay out polygons to cover a surface.
