Who said it did? Consider that I was commenting in a general sense.
djb's work, whether it's coding style or build system or something else, tends to differ from what is "popular".
The parent's comment is along the lines of: what is unfamiliar can appear more difficult, but after the adjustment it may actually appear easier than the prior alternative.
If you view the parent's comment in this light, then you will see that both the Linux kernel coding style and the GNU build system are very familiar for lots of folks.
If you are migrating to using tinyssh and other software that follow's djb's style for the first time, then you will no doubt have to "get used to it" and you might even perceive it as being difficult.
To be crystal clear, I'm not singling out the Linux kernel or the GNU build system. The GNU build system is but one example; the Linux kernel coding style is another.
I could make a lengthy list of "familiar", popular approaches that I could argue are inferior to djb's approach to the same task.
It's just my opinion. If you disagree, feel free to state your own opinion.
