> One should always strive to use the simplest tool that gets the job done.
why in earth would you think that. we get further as a species because we develop more complex tools to achieve our goals, be they nuclear reactors, smartphones, etc.
Simplest tool that gets the job done does not mean it is simple. There's still the the part that gets the job done, so it still can be essentially complex tool.
Accidental complexity, on the other hand, will only slow you down in the future, or even make you incapable to continue further development.
