Well, regardless of that, the crafting skill is quite useful for getting your enchantment skill to 100, which is one of the most useful, because at that point you can put two enchantments on everything. Go out and find some supplies and soul gems, craft a bunch of useless items, put a bunch of meaningless enchantments on them to boost your enchantment skill, and then as a bonus you have a bunch of enchanted loot to sell, which you can put towards more supplies and soul gems. Works quite well, but there is no reason to get the crafting skill to 100 if you're using heavy armor. I'm not sure if it's worth it for the light armor.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
