I think this article confuses "simplicity" with "less code". Often times when we talk about simplicity, it's about overall conceptual design, and on the note of dependencies, it's often _more_ simple to use something that does the job and brings in some more dependencies than it is to aggressively try to prune and end up costing more maintenance burden.
