In many case it is the sheer accidental complexity. I tried to get into Linux codebase and gosh it's so much harder than FreeBSD. And Chromium, LLVM... I don't believe it has to be that way. I use Common Lisp software (besides Emacs) written by human for anything I can and these have always been a joy to use or work with.
