It probably boils down to expectations. There really is no right or wrong answer, but it's probably best to adapt to the table in question.
If you sit sit down with a bunch of power gamers, then you should probably make a character with that in mind. Who wants to constantly be questioned about their suboptimal choices, and told that they created their character wrong?

Who knows? Maybe you'all actually find that a change in playstyle makes for a fun experience! Craziness, I know, but possible.
