It's very hard to write perfect minimal code from scratch. It takes a lot of foresight and consideration that mortals like myself simply don't possess.
I think finding the optimal solution to any problem usually requires delving through a lot of crap, trial and error etc. Maybe this is why I find the trend towards minimalism a little bit condescending, if that's the right word.

Too bad there are so many places where you're just constantly rushing to add new features on top of old stuff without ever having time to take another look at the design, fix it, and learn from it.
