2 weeks ago was my 11th birthday as the sole developper in my workplace.
I embraced KISS maybe 2 or 3 years after starting at this company. I NEVER regretted it.
I still maintain a few projects started in my non KISS period. I regret every time I have to touch the code base.
Of course YMMV.

That means unless absolutely necessary don't use unusual language features, use the most common framework on the market for that problem set, no unnecessary abstractions, etc. So far it seems to work well.
