After doing support for folks who used code I developed where they modified it without telling me, I could see the merit of both ways. I've spent days remotely debugging an issue before realizing a customers actually
did modify our product when they kept insisting it was never modified (he had no idea).
So I could see it working out both ways. I know one of the companies I dealt with who obfuscated their code could send us a debug version for testing / debugging a specific issue then we'd revert back to the release version. It's a little more complex but I kinda like that model.
But as you said it works great for you :)
