I've been working on a project lately that was designed by a really smart guy. It follows the OOP patterns and IoC and all of that. Trouble is you can introduce such complexity that maintenance from someone a few years later can get incredibly difficult. A lot of this code I'm working in has implicit dependencies that are really hard to trace w/o stepping through line by line. If the code was more explicit, maybe it would offend the ideologists, and maybe it wouldn't be as flexible as it is (debateable), but it sure as hell would be easier to maintain.
