Jon Tirsen has ranted on How to build maintainable systems: Simple design. I have a funny suspicion that the reason that he blogged this was: I have been to places that had frameworks of hundreds and hundreds of classes that when it came down to it did the equivalent functionality of about two mid-sized classes work. I kid you not. My guess is he came back from one of these "places" and had to blog again. Finding a simple design is always a tough thing to do. We always want to make the system as simple as possible, but not more so. I have run into the issues that Jon spells out, and also the opposite.
