The 21 is about where wide angle begins for APS-C cameras. It's a
great lens, but not all that wide. The 15 is right around the 90
degree FoV range that is the bread and butter for real wide-angle
shooting. Personally I like to go a bit wider, I generally used my
10-20 at 10mm when I was still shooting APS-C and now my Tamron 17/3.5
is my go to lens for wide-angle work (Equivalent to an 11.5mm on
APS-C, I'm shooting 35mm film these days)
Here's a couple of examples of what sort of wide-angle work I do:

Agree about WA lenses. While I have the DA14, it's really too big for
many
types of shooting; I'm looking forward to getting the DA15.
I especially like your second image; it really uses the lens effectively
without overwhelming the viewer with perspective distortion.
