I agree with you Keff.
Refactoring is one of the most important things, actually a gift that one developer can give to himself.
It doesn't save just your money and time, it's also one of the best ways to learn more efficient about what you are doing.
Refactoring is actually a life's thing.
It should be a part of everybody's life, not just codding.
As Ray Dalio said: "Pain + Reflection = Progress"(youtube.com/watch?v=i4wXCv4GLU0), and yes, reflection in life is refactoring in development.
As Steve Jobs said: "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards."(brainyquote.com/quotes/steve_jobs_...), and yes, looking backwards is actualy a reflection (refactoring).
Encouraging everyone to do it.
