In general, simple interfaces are good interfaces, but it takes quite a bit of experience to learn what is a good simple interface. For example not having to resort to global variables or a lot of state or a tightly coupled mess is not self evidient, but something that comes with practice, and usually the hard way. It doesn't help that many "best practices" aren't very good practices.
