By complicated I mean following: Modern OSes, office suites or business software. Modern guis, with integrated media support, integrated audio/video broad- and unicasts, animations, sounds, and so on... Would you be able to code them with c? Forget it. What we have had was mostly alpha-numeric based terminals (remember borlands gdi?) with maybe 10-20 business functions. Now, a pissy web-portal has more functionallity then the whole supercalc suite. Nostalgic talking about old times is ok, but you shouldn't forget reality... And talking about "complicated" and "simplicity"... What is simplier to read, 10 classes a 20 lines java code, or 5000 lines of assembler code doing the same?
