Pyramids are engineering feats, Java EE people are building stuff which look like works from M. C. Escher, it bends your mind when you try to understand the code :)
Also a little anecdote to the complexity of enterprise stuff: at the company I worked before, they were writing an entire persistence framework from scratch (with annotations instead of xml) so they could get away from hibernate.
