I find it's more often intermediate programmers who don't want to invest the time in learning advanced tools like Haskell or NixOS.

Complexity and complication are merely undesirable side effects of advanced things.

They are tolerated only under duress, as the cost to get some more valuable result.

If a thing is more complicated and difficult, and does not provide a more valuable result, then it's the opposite of advanced.
