I wish I could upvote this comment more than once. Many complex systems are complex because they solve complex problems, not just because they have evolved over time from different simple conditions. You can't always (if ever) replace a complex system with a simple one. You can't escape complexity by coding around it. This is the attitude that killed Netscape and kills many Enterprise projects.
