Whether the reputation is deserved is another matter. A reason Moore gives for leaving Forth Inc was 'Forth started simple, gradually accreting layers of complexity and that became the culture'. If there's a gene for simplicity it hasn't passed down the generations. We admire the Diogenes of the world. Endlessly listen to their admonishments. But God forbid actually living that.
