Heh, I get that feeling from a fair number of "modern" things. It's
almost as if all the new frameworks and such that make programming
easier also make it easier to just make a horrible mess.
They've created their own complex way of making things simple. Is what I
gathered from most ``modern'' tech. It's just crap over crap over crap
and crap. I'm sure there are good technical reasons as to why they were
developed but at some you have to ask yourself: ``Maybe it's time to
just create a new thing for this instead of bolting in it into the
existing framework.''
