Speaking for myself, I am impressed by something that is necessarily complex in order to accomplish some difficult task, and dislike needless complexity that could be simpler. A good example of necessary complexity would be this post from yesterday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43448457 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43448457. Another example would be how the A-10 had to be fueled right before takeoff because it would leak fuel until at top speed.

The A-10 is very hardened for close air support. It even has self sealing fuel tanks https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/104490/a-10c-thunderbolt-ii/ https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/1044...
