As someone who has played far too much Stone Soup (going back to when it was called Linley's Dungeon Crawl), and bounced, hard, off of Dwarf Fortress a number of times, I think that you're understating how much simpler, conceptually, Crawl is.
DF is many, many orders of magnitude more complex than Crawl. Many.
