Only in comparison.How does one 'measure' complexity?
Of course.Subjectively, complexity and simplicity are Goldilocks terms. They mean different things to different people.
Yes.There are bound to be people who think 5e is complex compared to their favorite RPG.
As I compared LevelUP with vanilla 5e, I guess it was clear enough.
And compared to 3e and 4e, 5e is simpler and more accessible. One of the design goals of Mearls. I remember him saying that he wants to design a game that can be played in 2h sessions. And this is exactly what I do. Or in 45 minutes in the school D&D club that currently has 7 players.
So mission accomplished.
