> sometimes we talk about / sell something as being easy, short or simple without accounting for ... software complexity. Software complexity exists, yes. But in your original comment, you did say: 'the code is actually simple and short, the logic is easy to follow...' I think the fact that modern software is built on a complex base shouldn't take away from when it accomplishes something in a simple, elegant way. Abstractions are after all the key enabler of software systems. Criticizing them and the complexity they sit on top of, seems like missing the point.
