Yes, convention is more important that the quality of the convention. The convention abnegates the need to think about things, and for a developer, thoughts are precious.

With a good convention, even more important, structure can be derived and deduced, without reading the documentation. I love it, when i begin to grasp the structure of a codebase, write a line and hit auto-complete and the codebase was reliable. Functionname exists and parameters expected are served up.
The code just feels so much more discover-able in such moments.
