"Complex tasks require complex code"
That is basically true, if you are not interested in code
maintainability. The more complex code is, the less
maintainable it becomes. In the context of large-scale
systems, you should especially be interested in improving the
maintainability of code. The complexity of the implementation
is a key aspect of the maintainability of large systems.
I hope that you understand my earlier "Urgh" message now. I
am concerned about the maintainability of PHP and its
modules.
