I hate tiny text. Hate. It. It's irritating, because I'm always squinting, going "what the hell does that say?" Also, the feeling of pretentiousness you mention - it's designed, purposely, to be incomprehensible. At best, it's like putting up something that says nothing.
I would have so many more icons from giveaways if not for tiny text. But no matter how much I love everything else, I won't use an icon that's got tiny text on it.
