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.
