it really is a balancing act. i always find that the tools are what limit what can be expressed, and that over engineering usually happens when trying really hard to get around these limitations. sometimes the limitations are due to a lack knowledge, and therefore making things more complicated than necessary. and yes you always have to ask yourself, whether the added complexity is worth it, like you said. with tools i mean pretty much anything given to you, like: frameworks, protocols, IDEs, the operating system, but especially programming languages
