Compared to what? It's a complex component that doesn't get any simpler if you change UI platforms.

And while complex, it's not hard to follow.

Compared to any major UI library out there. Take QT for example:

That ANT Table is not complex. QT has tons of legacy and supports way more features, yet, code is easier to grasp and maintain. Also, C# and WinForms, if you don't like C++:

This just seems like a comparison of how familiar you are with any of the UI libraries. None of these are simple. You're linking me thousands of lines of code, 6000+ in the WinForms example.

Yet the Ant link is just 600 lines.
