I disagree.
A complex interface implies a lot of code. a lot of code
leads to unreliablity, either through bugs or detracting valuable
developer time from more important things
A simple interface (well designed) imples less code, which leads
to reliability.
Users who can no invest the effort learn enough to use a simple
interface do not deserve a reliable operating system. They deserve windows,
and they deserve pop up buttong in their browsers that they click ok blindly
for everything.
