Prose should slide off your fingers like warm butter. If your brain screams "discombobulated" at you, you don't have to ignore it because it's a big word. There is of course a limit based on your working vocabulary and the genre. Too many big words is snooty. I became a much better writer when I stopped using a thesaurus. My dictionary primarily gets used for parts of speech and hyphenation; however, my spelling's not great, but I use Word so it tells me.
