The two concepts are not mutually exclusive.

The two concepts are not mutually exclusive. If you target a big enough pain point, your first users will love the product even if it lacks polish. It's also important to remember that MVP != shit. It is the minimum viable product; in the context of the YC motto it's the minimum product that a small, core group of users will love. This is all theoretical on my part, FWIW--I have not successfully built such a thing on my own yet.
