baroque
adj.
[common] Feature-encrusted; complex; gaudy; verging on excessive. Said of
hardware or (esp.) software designs, this has many of the connotations of
elephantine or monstrosity but is less extreme and not pejorative in
itself. In the absence of other, more negative descriptions this term
suggests that the software is trembling on the edge of bad taste but has
not quite tipped over into it. ?Metafont even has features to introduce
random variations to its letterform output. Now that is baroque!? See also
rococo.
