Because real engineers enjoy making hard things boring. edit: to be clear, I'm not claiming to be a 'real' engineer. I love writing whimsical, complicated stuff if it makes things easier for users, and make sure I'm writing maintainable code my colleagues are comfortable with with code reviews and removing as many flourishes as possible.
