I'd certainly be happy to live in any house built by the Amish, though I'll have to install a few things that I've come to like, such as electrical and extended plumbing, both of which the Amish also fail to meet the specifications of the local building codes. Ahh, yes, I can just see that inspect judiciously pointing out that there is not an outlet on each wall, light switches aren't installed at the ADA proscribed height, doors aren't wide enough to accommodate a powered wheelchair...

Code here requires a plug every 8 to 12 feet (forgot the exact number) regardless if it is the same wall or not. Even in hallways...
