While I agree that complexity is bad the fact that we don't really have a shared understanding of what complexity is doesn't help. At worst, it can be just another synonym for "bad" that passes through the mental firewall without detection. For instance is having multiple files in a project "complex"? If I am unfamiliar with a codebase is it "complex" and I therefore have to re-write it?
