This is so true.
When I was making The Resistance, the story was based entirely on Carrotus which meant that I had to use the tileset. I had planned on two or three large levels that used the set, or some variation of it. This proved too annoying though, so I only made one large level and two small ones, with one of the small ones having fairly simple eyecandy (being a water level, I could get away with that). With the larger level, I went for a look that allowed me to take a more sparse, easy to build approach. Overall things turned out fine, but I did not enjoy making it and wound up cutting a lot of stuff.
Oh yeah, and I wound up using wartorn as well, which is also a very painful tileset to use. That level went from being planned as a full level, to being the scene of a boss fight and nothing more.
The moral of the story: don't plan big projects that include tilesets you hate using!
