This article explains it in sort of an elliptical way. Gimmicks are fun, but they kill art.
The things mentioned here- except Ken Rockwell's ultrawides and ultra-saturation, but just because he doesn't do well with them- are not gimmicks, they're consistent styles, which he talks about being good there. DC also uses a consistant style: 50mm, shallow depth of field, available light, a certain color palette and some other visual processing techniques. He's played around some- wider, longer, with a flash- but his best work is always in that same mode. Why? Like the article said- he settled on that, and stuck with it, to show us his subjects, generally people he's deeply interested in.
