There's a level of "craft" to many things - quality of work that increases the more one practices at it. Not arbitrary "I taste food anyway" more like "I learn to identify the flavours and cooking techniques".
In visual presentation, there's also the human preferences - movement (eg Van Gogh and his inspirations including traditional Chinese and Japanese brush art and its attentions on wind and wave), symmetry (almost all cultures, and rebels against such as Picasso), detailed representation, and difficulty to craft.
But I know little of art, other than I like going to galleries from time to time.
In code, there's cleanliness, efficiency, symmetry with documentation and effects and - the end result. All of these take craft, and - it can show. The more consistent and reliable, the better the craft, as well.
Oh one can get into aesthetic tastes as well - how well a particular medium is for use to be effective, the different art and craft in all the sources and contexts. Not everyone will see the craft in the construction of paper, or the laying of a foundation, but those who know the craft - may. And it can matter to those who wish do to work they value, even if never seen by another.
