Nonsense, nobody loves complexity. I like power and transparency. Git is 
pretty transparent, and one can peer into Emacs's inner workings very 
easily, at least compared to most other advanced editors.

You can ignore Emacs's complexity if you're okay with giving up 
features, but then it becomes inferior in many respects to other, 
"modern" editors, which arguably offer more features on lower levels of 
complexity.

It doesn't have to be this way, but that's where things are at now.
