It is - but my point is about complexity not ease. The fact that dependency is versioned separately from your code base is one source of complexity that it adds. The fact that it has many lines of code is another complexity. It is however often easier, even although i'm advocating very small self-written test doubles, they are still less easy than using mockito.
