If you're pathologically opposed to software complexity, you probably shouldn't be using a GUI at all. Many millions of lines of code are involved in turning UTF-8 into pixels on your screen, laying out widgets, driving a GPU, and so forth.

    I will say that it's impressive that modern GUIs, as staggeringly complex as they are, work as well and as quickly as they do, not to mention how ridiculously fast the hardware is. That's quality engineering right there.
