RE: Crypto Life: Complicated Stuff That Doesn't WORK!

I sometimes wonder how much of the unnecessary complexity is designers trying to show off their skills irrespective of the impact on the end product, that complications and unwanted functionality are thrown in just because they can, and that they reject solid things that already exist because (in their minds) they want to prove they can make it better.

I've only got a certain amount of time and mental energy to devote to learning new things, so have to try to pick what to learn wisely.
