Such statements make me feel like I want to run away and kiss Apple's  
Snow Leopard, which removes a lot of old cruft while maintaining full  
usability. For example, you no longer have the choice to run this OS  
on a PowerPC CPU, removing some 30% off the neccessary binaries. You  
no longer have the choice to use the Carbon API, removing some 20% of  
the required knowledge to code on a Mac. Older Cocoa API's are in the  
process of being removed as well. Again less choice, less header  
files, less libraries, less required knowledge - in short, less  
complexity.
