Software quote: "Complexity kills."
"Complexity kills. It sucks the life out of developers, it makes products difficult to plan, build and test, it introduces security challenges and it causes end-user and administrator frustration."

Complexity is very subjective. What's complex to one is simple to another. The most important thing in software development is to create a useful product that can be sold successfully. The best solution is not necessarily the simplest one, but it's the one which works best for the business model it's developed in.
