I've read his book cover to cover and have enjoyed and learnt from a number of the concepts he discusses.

That being said, after recently reading "Out of the tarpit" and being a long time Rich Hickey fan, I completely agree that the model of complexity presented by the book feels simplistic.

I can't quite put my finger on why though. Maybe cause complexity in software has a lot more to do with understanding the problem domain rather than just the structure of the code. IMO it was worth the read, but I was slightly disappointed and it was without a doubt not a be all end all reference. (And it would be unfair to expect it to be.)
