Complexity
November 8th, 2007James Snell: Wrong. All of this is complex. Technology is complex. It does nobody any good to argue that one particular way of building applications is less complicated than any other way of building applications. WS-* is complex. REST is complex. It’s all complex. Complexity is not the issue. The real issues are things like utility, consistency, accessibility, etc.
Not much I can add to that.

Heh, remind me never to use anything mr. Snell has designed.
I think I must disagree here — given that complexity can be divided into two major types (necessary and unnecessary), it seems foolish to argue there are no significant differences in complexity for various approaches. Indicating all systems and approaches are equally complex does nobody any good. Strive for reduced complexity is a worthy goal; as long as simplicity and elegance are not confused with naivity (”Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.” - A. Einstein).
