s/complex/badly designed/ then I agree.
It's interesting that Microsoft made an API so bad you could only realistically use it via complex automated tools then actually made money from selling those tools and turned the requirement into a norm. Basically every advantage of things like VS disappear on Unix like systems.
Compare Win32 with the KDE4 API and you realise just how badly software can be designed. I like that a Phonon audio player can be instantiated loaded with a file and played in 3/4 lines of code. Compare that with DirectSound.
