Actually I think Djikstra's comment still applies. A lot of time the essential complexity is due to design. That design may have said essential complexity because the design is poor, when a different design would have less essential complexity. But as Djikstra says, the design with more essential complexity often sells better.

You can't say "more essential complexity" because that violates the definition. It's the complexity required by the task and that is constant and independent of the design.
