I prefer tools that don't optimize for the unicorn "good" code base but rather help me with real world code. Also, many problems are irreducibly complex. Just because there are a lot of code paths doesn't mean it's bad code. Not every software project is a toy. Everything in their post describes real world code and all projects beyond toy-size.
