No, I think I may be the only one. But I used to wear awful too-tight stuff like that too, and now I know better. Search the WAYWRN archives, you'll see the god awful shit I went out in.
i don't necessarily think tight or baggy equals good fit.

Agreed, but I am talking about that too tight god awful size too small stuff I wore.
For review:
Tight ≠ good fit.
Baggy ≠ good fit.
Properly sized sack coat = good fit, even if one's not a fan of the silhouette.

The Brit, stoically, retorts "Well, monsieur, I can alter the silhouette of my suit, if I care to. But you can't make that suit fit you," and leaves.

There is a middle ground right? Many "traditional" suits are to baggy, imo.
