I lost count of the number of web projects I had to work on that could be rewritten in a tenth of the code, for more performance, better maintainability and less entanglement between components. Both on the server side and on the client side. Its really, REALLY easy to build complex software; but that never scales or evolves well over time. You end up saving on initial development only to be constantly plagued with problems in the future. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
