In general, I like simple solutions to problems (and simple songs). They can take work, but a simple solution means it's easy to explain to others, easy for others to refactor/modify, and we limit the amount of effort required to ensure others can use the solution. Sometimes I see very clever engineering solutions, but they become cumbersome to implement and maintain, or worse, no one other than the author understands how they work.

In any size organization, that's a piece of technical debt that can cause problems over time.
