and I think that the rigor which it imparts is a good thing (but ask me that again after I've finished reading Hilbert/Cohn-Vossen's _Geometry and the Imagination_ which I just ordered from the AMS) --- after that I need to read _Projective Geometric Algebra Illuminated_ by Eric Lengyel and hopefully out of all this I'll arrive at the understanding I need to finish up the next aspect of my current project (though I would accept recommendations on books on conic sections).
tldr; I think Euclid should be included in math studies, but not as a sole text, more as an "ultimate authority" so that there is some commonality to logical processes and proofs.
