I was thinking the same thing about "who cares what your peers think?" But I disagree on if your client likes it you should go with it. You have to think about the audience. I've found many people - beyond pro designers - know comic sans is system font that cheap/inexperienced designers like to overuse. I've seen people look at nice work that has CS on it and say "it looks cheap." And when I finally drill down to find out what they don't like, it's the font. They didn't know why they didn't like it.
For kids, I use kidprint. For casual, Especial Kay work ok. I have a bunch of other casual ones too.
Sometimes I use a more formal font but make the design more casual. Then you get the look, but the readability.
