Which only proves my point. It's really hard to make it right in v0.1 and you have to make it right, otherwise the whole thing is forever broken. Even then, there were two huge bugs: one with integer overflow that created billions of bitcoins in one transaction. Another was with OP_RETURN that allowed to spend bitcoins from any transactions without any effort.
Bitcoin wins over more complex schemes because it has less moving parts. Fortunately, the parts that were enabled work fine and give us awesome possibilities. Otherwise, they'd be disabled too.
