A comment about my grid spacing made me rethink everything

Been using CSS Grid for about two years now. I was on a forum like this one showing off a product page layout I made. Someone said "your gutters are inconsistent, you should use a single gap value across the whole design." At first I thought it was nitpicking. But I went back and looked at my code. I had a mix of 16px and 20px gaps in different grid containers. It looked sloppy once I saw it. Now I pick one spacing unit for the whole project, like 12px or 16px, and stick with it. Everything looks cleaner. Has anyone else gotten feedback that seemed small but ended up changing your whole approach?
