I for one do not know that. Lenses of different focal lengths do have
characteristics, based on their focal lengths, other than getting more
or less in the frame.
I am pleased that the 50mm lens worked for you, especially when it was
your only lens. However, I submit for your consideration that its being
a 50mm lens had far less to do with your success than the discipline
enforced by using only one lens. It could have been a 35mm, it could
have been a 90mm, but it is the fact of having only one lens that made
you work harder at each picture you took.

As everyone knows, you don't alter the viewpoint when you switch to a
wider or longer lens, you just get more or less in the frame. In most
cases, you can do this by walking forwards or backwards and at the same
time see what changing perspective does to your shot which is much more
interesting than just optically cropping the photograph.
I like feet but I hate zooms.
